Davis and Eisenhower High Schools’ musicians recently won in several categories in a regional competition.
Davis and Eisenhower High Schools both competed in the Yakima Valley Music Educators Association/WIAA Regional Solo and Ensemble Contest for Winds, Brass and Percussion, hosted at YSD’s own Davis High School. The winners from each region’s competition will advance to the WMEA/WIAA State Contest at CWU in April.
Davis had 43 entries and won in 6 different categories, along with numerous first alternatives (who placed 2nd) and second alternates (who placed 3rd) that will continue if the winner from that division is unable to or if there is an open spot from another region.
Congratulations to the Davis High School winners!
