Successful Saturday!

Congratulations to all the members of the Gold Concert Band who participated in the Ohio Music Education Association Solo & Ensemble event this past Saturday at Firestone High School in Akron.  We are pleased to share with you the results of the event:

• Woodwind Choir - Excellent Rating
• Brass Choir - Excellent Rating
• Percussion Ensemble - Superior Rating

Our students achieved these ratings through hard work and a dedication to success.  We are very proud of the students and their accomplishments!

For those students who were not able to be with us on Saturday, a make-up assignment was distributed in class on Monday, 1/26/15.  (The assignment is also posted at the top of this page.)  Students need to complete the assignment and return it to Mr. Harris or Mrs. Culver no later than Friday, February 6 in order to earn credit.

For the next several weeks, the students will continue preparations for our contest event.  The Gold Concert Band has been invited to perform at Revere High School as part of their annual Band Invitational concert.  Students in Gold Band and Symphonic Band will perform at this event on Thursday, March 5, 2015.  (Specific details will be announced closer to this performance.)  Students will also perform at the OMEA Large Group Adjudicated Event here at Cuyahoga Falls High School on Friday, March 13.  Please make sure both of these dates are on your calendar.

In order to best prepare students for these upcoming performances, Mr. Harris, Mrs. Culver and Miss Lambert will be hearing the students play each of the pieces for these concerts.  Students were informed of their assessment and the timeline for completion.  (A copy of the assessment is also located at the top of this page.)  We are excited to hear each of the students and encourage them to work towards their best individual performance for not only the assessment, but all of these upcoming events.  We are excited to see how far we can go as we continue to pursue excellence!

Have a great week!
