FLOYDADA, TX – Several Floydada student musicians earned top honors at the recent UIL solo and ensemble contest, bringing home multiple Division I ratings and securing several state qualifications.
Cheyenne Sawyer earned a Division I rating on her solo and will advance to the state contest.
In ensemble competition, the Trombone Trio made up of Kaydin Logsdon, Vincent Cooper, and Peyton Noland received a Division I rating and qualified for state.
The Low Brass Trio — Angel Olvera, Kanon Rainwater, and Josh Stewart — also earned a Division I rating and secured a spot at state.
Josh Stewart added to his successful day by earning a Division I rating on his solo, qualifying him for state competition in that event as well.
Chris Williams and Nayohmi Garcia both received Division I ratings for their solos. While both performances earned the highest marks from judges, they were not state-eligible entries.
