Eastshore Solo and Ensemble Festival
March 8th and 9th
Issaquah Middle School.
The Eastshore Solo and Ensemble Festival is the largest music festival of the year!
The solo/ensemble contests are intended to provide student musicians an opportunity to perform a solo or an ensemble in front of an adjudicator and a limited audience, and to receive constructive comments, both spoken and written, from the adjudicator.
20 classrooms into performance and warm up spaces. We want to ensure that every student has a positive experience and we are going to need your help.
We are looking for at least 100 adult volunteers to cover set-up shifts during the afternoon/ evening of Friday, March 8, and throughout the day on Saturday, March 9 as we host the Festival. You can help provide a wonderful experience for thousands of students by volunteering for part of the day.
