Band and choir rated superior

The Hot Springs County High School band and choir were in Lovell last week for the 2015 District Music Festival.

Keeping with tradition, the band and choir both came home with multiple superior ratings with solos and ensembles ranging from excellent to superior as determined by the panel of judges.

"I am so proud of our musicians," director Dustin Olsen said. "They represented the high school and community on the highest level. Not only did they perform at an extremely high level of musicianship, they proved that they are proud of what they perform."  

Olsen said all of the hard work in rehearsals paid off for them at the competition. 

They will travel to Denver next week for the annual "Music in the Parks" competition.

"I am excited to see them perform in Denver next week," Olsen said.
