JV Band Festival Recap

Concert Band and Symphonic Band had outstanding performances at Lincoln HS this last week.  

The Concert Band was rated on the same scale that the Symphonic Band was rated with.  (There is an easier scale, but I asked that they be rated on the harder one).  They received scores that were just below what is considered Superior on that harder scale!  Would have easily been superior on their scale.  I am very proud of the hard work and growth this ensemble has displayed!  They put one of their pieces together in 4 rehearsals.

The Symphonic Band received Superior scores from both adjudicators and were challenged in the clinic to be even more musical and more detailed.  

Wind Ensemble Retreat Recap

The Wind Ensemble had the privilege to work with an amazing music educator this past weekend (4/15).  They received outstanding instruction and tools to use for our pieces moving forward as we prepare to perform at the State Band Championships.
