District 742

According to the school district, Walker Prescott, Donald Conrad, and Marcus Wade will represent their school at Anoka-Ramsey Community College on Thursday, February 12th, showcasing their exceptional musical knowledge and teamwork.

The students formed their own three-person team to compete in the challenging competition, which tests participants’ comprehensive understanding of music through multiple formats. The regional competition featured a written test with five distinct rounds: musical identification, excerpt-based short answer questions, a lightning round, multiple choice, and a mystery round.

After navigating those rigorous challenges, the team emerged victorious from a field of 85 teams representing 36 schools and groups across seven regions. The top two teams from regionals advance to compete head-to-head for the championship title.
