Now that the year has officially come to an end, I have had time to reflect on all our students have accomplished this year. I am SO proud of their efforts AND their results! Each grade level presented an exciting concert at the years end and the eighth grade band presented two extra performances during the school day: one for rising sixth graders and another for the entire school and many parents as part of our International Day festivities. Each ensemble stepped up the challenging music I gave them and performed like rock stars!
Our Eighth Graders, with a few of the Seventh Graders, performed at our district lead Music Performance Adjudication event and was awarded the rating of Superior from the judging panel. This is the highest rating available and it is made especially significant by the fact that this was the first MPA performance for our students. We were the first ensemble to perform of the entire event, which tends to be a more harshly critiqued performance slot. Our students were focused and professional. They received compliments on their behavior and focus from one of the adjudicators before we even entered the performance hall.

Thanks for all of your work and support this year! It certainly paid off! I cannot wait to start getting our hands dirty again in August!
