Butler State music results‏

Last Saturday, in Columbia at 8:00 AM, Robert Branson blew the doors open with a grand 4-measure opening. His beautiful, musical rendition of his solo was very inspiring and well played. Although soloists are given 7 minutes to play, the judge let him play completly his 10', 30'' solo. He received a Superior One rating, the best you can get.

At 8:14 Jayce Teeman played a very musical, in-a-romantic style, Alto Sax solo that makes you feel like you could melt. Only a couple of intonation situations and a distracting buzzing piece of plastic from a speaker allowed him to earn aExcellent 2 rating. Both performances were oustanding!

Congratulations my guys.

The choir sang so well too. Aarika Gardner received a Superior, One rating as did the 8-pack of Aarika, Rachel Hurshman, Madison VanGordan, Jordan Loughridge, Christian Lawrence, Dalton Fischer, Bryce Joslin and Bausten Sargent. Jordan Loughridge received an Excellent 2 rating. All musicians received a State Certificate!

We are proud of our little not-so-well known Butler Music Conservatory.
