Reflecting on now:
Looks like official contest season is a wrap! You know what that means! Photo dump and bravos!
7th and 8th orchestra in, Ms. Millirons first year, coming strong with I’s in Sight Reading and I’s on stage!
7th band did well with I’s in Sight Reading and II’s and III’s on stage.
8th band had a great performance but came up a little short on the results we felt we earned with III’s on stage and II in Sight Reading.
We celebrated with some Main Event on the windiest day of the year and got an extra free day at Main Event out of it!
And we finished it off with the following solo and ensemble results which you can find in the link below.
Band: we had 6 soloists who received 4 superiors and 3 excellent ratings (one of them kicked butt on both flute and bassoon), our brass ensemble received an excellent, and our first ever BIEMS percussion ensemble, comprised of only 7th graders, received a superior!
Orchestra: our soloists had 4 superiors, 1 excellents, and 2 good ratings! Our ensembles received 4 superior 1 excellent, 2 good ratings!
Way to go all!
On to the future:
Next week we get to do our annual partnership with Putnam City to have 6th graders (and, some of them - their older siblings get to join) perform their own solo and ensembles!
We will finish off the full year with our first ever soccer Pep band on 4/7 and kick it on stage on stage with the band on 4/8 (more deets to come).
