O-A CAPTURES THREE OF FOUR OUTSTANDINGS!


        Saturday, April 14, 2007, Odebolt-Arthur high school musicians traveled to Sac City with their directors
and accompanists to participate in this year’s state solo and small ensemble contest.  It was a long day and
successful one for our participants.  The choir and band each earned seventeen “I”(superior) ratings and
thirteen “II” (excellent) ratings.  One vocal group ­ the men’s quartet ­ and two instrumentalists ­ clarinet
solo and multiple percussion solo - received the OUTSTANDING awards for their centers.
     Congratulations to all the participants on all your hard work!
