Florida Band Masters Solo and Ensemble Competition Results

This past weekend band students participated in the Florida Band Masters Solo and Ensemble Competition. Cocoa Beach was represented very well. 86 students received Superior ratings – First Place. (That is the highest rating possible) 33 students received an Excellent rating – Second Place. This is an outstanding accomplishment for these young students. This event included Cocoa Beach band students in the 6th -12 grades performing solos, duets, trios, quartets, and even a clarinet choir’s for high school and Junior high and the color guard. 26 students have qualified for the State Solo and Ensemble Festival. Congratulations to all of these students!

In addition, the Cocoa Beach Winter Guard team received Superior Ratings for the first time in 5 years! Congratulations Winter Guard and Coach Mrs. Lindsey.

Thank you to everyone for your support of the band and these students
