Community Music School Students Earn Honors at Missouri State Music Festival

The Community Music School of Webster University is proud to congratulate 59 students who earned Gold, Silver, or Bronze ratings in the solo category at the Missouri State Music Festival in Columbia, April 27 - 30.  This is the first time the festival, sponsored by the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA), has been held since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Approximately 356 schools were represented from across the state of Missouri with over 3,500 performances scheduled and an estimated 7,000-8,000 students performing.  All participants earned an exemplary rating on the district level to qualify for the state festival.  

"The CMS is proud to be a part of the educational journey for these exemplary young musicians," said Nicole Springer, Director of the Community Music School.  "We congratulate them on their dedication and commitment to excellence."
