Four ingenious murders take place in an island mansion as a pair of elderly detectives …

More than 135 Hamilton High School choir and band students performed at the Regional Solo and Ensemble Festival held at Hamilton Saturday. “Solo and Ensemble Festival is a really good chance for the students to get critiqued by someone they are not used to, and it challenges them to learn a new piece of music outside their comfort zone,” said Hamilton choral director Marilyn Mascitti. At the regional event, which featured 10 high schools, students performed solos, duets, trios, quartets and ensembles.  “It’s fun to see how high of a level I can play to challenge myself, and to hear the finished product,” said freshman Sam Welter, who played a baritone saxophone solo and a piano duet.  Performers can choose music from a list that includes …
