Bellaire High School guitar students participated in the UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest last weekend in Katy, Texas. Students worked diligently over many months to prepare. They won 21 solo gold medals and 23 ensemble gold medals (a new guitar program record). All of these students are now qualified for the state contest at the University of Texas at Austin in May. Additionally, many students won silver and bronze medals. Congratulations to all who participated.
