The 8th Grade Band had a great day at the North Jersey Region I Middle School Concert Band Festival: I was very pleased with our performance (I think the kids were too), and all of our students were respectful and attentive audience members for the five other performing ensembles.
I firmly believe that how my students carry themselves offstage is as important as their performances onstage, so I'm proud of how my students carried themselves for the whole day.
The 8th Grade Band received a "Silver" rating from the two adjudicators. Most of the band directors I spoke with today agreed that the adjudicators were tough this year; that's a good thing though! We will use the feedback from the adjudicators as we move onto the adjudicated performances at Music in the Parks trip to Dorney in May.
Looking Ahead:
The RMS music faculty is hard at work on finalizing details regarding our Dorney Park trip on May 29th. Keep your eye for more information soon.
Also, make sure that the you have the RMS Spring Band Concert on your calendars: It'll take place on Thursday, May 7th beginning at 7PM (in the RHS Auditorium).
Parents and guardians: Thanks again for your support and giving me some great kids with which to work! This whole music thing is well worth it!
