Rosati-Kain congratulates Ceci Hickey '22, Elly Christoper '23, and Mars Bishop '22 on their recent triumphs at the High School Solo Festival. Ceci and Mars both competed as vocalists and Elly competed as a violinist.

Ceci, who is just a sophomore, received a 2 rating, which means "excellent." Receiving a 2, especially as a sophomore, is a very impressive feat. Both Elly and Mars received a 1 rating, which means "exemplary." Receiving a 1 is extremely difficult to achieve and is something that most musicians dream of being able to achieve. Their 1 ratings have qualified both Elly and Mars for state.

It has been many years since an R-K student has gone to state, so please join us in congratulating all three of them on their success! Congratulations also to Ms. Kowalczyk and Ms. Fassi for their undeniable guidance in helping these young musicians thrive.
