Ultra Day at State

Ultra Day (Kyle Rudd, Corey Utyro, Caleb Utyro and Cody Utryo) had a great performance at the WSMA’s State Launchpad at Madison on June 9th! They competed against 12 other garage bands from around the state from large High Schools such as Sauk Prairie, Mosinee, Janesville, Appleton, Wauwatosa, Milwaukee, Madison, LaCrosse, Osseo Fairchild and Green Bay. Each band played 3 selections in virtually any style, which could be covers or originals. Although they did not receive the Grand Prize, they were awarded a 40 minute set on the Potawtomi Stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee with the other State Finalists. Ultra Day’s set is beginning at 1:50 P.M. on Sunday, July 1st. Trampled by Turtles, the local band from Duluth who recently played on David Letterman, will sing on the same stage that evening at 10:00 P.M. Each band was also awarded a Shure microphone and a digital recorder. It was amazing to watch our Solon Springs students perform with these other bands from big schools. It just proves that good things can come in small packages. Congratulations to Cody, Caleb, Corey and Kyle for aiming high and reaching the mark.
