On Saturday, February 7, three GCHS students — Marelly Medrano, Catelynn Parsons, and Jobe Carter — participated in the Region II Solo & Ensemble Festival. They are the first students from our school to take part in this festival in quite some time, and they represented GCHS exceptionally well.
Jobe Carter, a freshman saxophonist, received a rating of 1, which is a Superior rating. He dedicated countless hours to preparation, and his hard work truly paid off. We are very proud of his accomplishment.
Marelly, Caty, and Jobe also joined together to perform a trio selection titled “Give My Regards to Broadway.” Their collaboration and preparation earned them a 1+, a Superior Plus rating.
The GCHS Music Department has enjoyed continued success this year, and these students have made two remarkable contributions to that achievement. Congratulations, and Go Titans!
