On Saturday, Feb. 1, hundreds of students from over 20 surrounding schools met at Kokomo High School to perform for a panel of judges at the 2025 Indiana State School Music Association District 3 Solos and Ensembles event where Clinton Central students excelled in their practices.
Out of 65 individual Clinton Central events, 60 scored high enough to receive a gold rating, which is the highest percentage of gold ratings the high school has ever received. The remaining five events were scored as a silver, which indicates that no bronze or participation ratings were received.
The following Clinton Central Band members scored high enough on their performances to receive a gold medal:
