Vocalists from Milbank received 24 Superiors (I), 10 Excellents (II) and 1 Good (III) rating. Choir director Miriam Schwenn accompanied the musicians to the event. Mrs. Kristi Seehafer and Mrs. Deb Rausch helped prepare voice students and served as accompanists.

Solo performances were based on the following criteria: tone, intonation, accuracy, interpretation, vocal technique and performance factors such as literature choice and professional conduct.  Ensemble groups were also critiqued on balance/blend. Each area of concern was worth five points and was totaled at the end of each performance for an overall rating.
