Earlier this month all of our 7th grade and older band members performed as the Providence Wind Ensemble at the Florida Bandmasters Association District 17 Concert Music Performance Assessment. The band performed The Brandenburg Gate by Johnnie Vinson, All The Pretty Little Horses by Anne McGinty, and Cumberland Cross by Carl Strommen on stage at Mandarin High School. Then they went into another room to perform two pieces they had never seen before with only 3-5 minutes of study.
The students played very well earning EXCELLENT ratings (all A’s and B’s) from all three judges on stage and a SUPERIOR in Sight Reading. A ton of growth happened in pursuit of a great performance.
