WOW! It never ceases to amaze me how much young people can accomplish with a strong dedication to excellence, perseverance, and diligent practice. Our Milwee Concert and Symphonic Band students lived up to that billing this past week at our annual Music Performance Assessment. Our bands were lauded for being wonderful ambassadors on behalf of our school, performing music at a an exceptionally mature level, and demonstrating excellence in focus throughout their time at the festival. BRAVO MILWEE BAND! I am so proud to be apart of your team.
As for our “score/rating” -- I am so pleased to announce that Concert Band received straight Excellent on stage, and a Superior in Sight Reading; Symphonic Band received straight Superior Ratings in both stage and Sight Reading (also achieving “Straight A” markings in every category, from each adjudicator)! This is a wonderful feat for our students. CONGRATULATIONS!
I’ve uploaded both band’s concert recordings to YOUTUBE, you can find the links to each song below. They sound GREAT! Students, I hope you cherish these recordings and enjoy listening to them time and time again.
Beginner students! Please take a few minutes to listen, it’s well worth it for you to see what your musical future holds at our school.
