Dozens of Frenship ISD choir students showcased their musical talent and dedication at the UIL Regional Solo and Ensemble Competition, earning high marks against strong competition from across the region.

Solo and Ensemble is a UIL-sanctioned vocal competition in which students prepare and perform a classical solo or ensemble selection. Music is categorized by difficulty level, with students performing their selections from memory for a judge who evaluates each performance using a detailed rubric.

Students begin preparing for the competition months in advance, refining their technique, musicality, and stage presence. At the regional competition, participants who earn a Superior rating on a Grade 1 solo or ensemble advance to the State Solo and Ensemble Competition.

At this year’s contest, Frenship High School and Memorial High School students earned an impressive number of Superior and Excellent ratings, with several students and ensembles advancing to the State level.
