Students from the South Central Conference will participate in a Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) sanctioned music festival hosted at Westfield Area HS/MS on Saturday, February 22, 2025 from 8am until 4:00pm. Students from grades 6-12 will perform vocal and instrumental solos, duets, trios, etc., and receive written and verbal feedback and a performance rating from experienced music adjudicators from around the state. Participating school districts include: Adams-Friendship, Mauston, Wautoma, and Westfield.
WSMA music festivals support school music programs as part of a comprehensive education by encouraging the study of quality music literature; motivating students to prepare and perform to the best of their abilities; improving students’ understanding of music literature and concepts (performance through understanding); and providing a performance assessment to improve individual and group achievement. This event also gives music students the opportunity to hear performances by their peers and students from other schools.
Community members from the surrounding areas can show support for these music programs and their students by attending this event, which is free and open to the public.
