CONGRATS TO 7TH-8TH CONCERT BAND!!!

WOW! What else can I say, band...you did it!

You had your best run of the concert contest music on stage on Saturday...that's what we aimed for, and that's what you achieved. As I said, if you give me your best run, I would be proud and very happy, no matter what the judges said.

You gave your best performance of the music, and the judges agreed! Each one gave you a "I" rating, also known as a "Superior" rating. That gave you not only a 1st Division rating, but also "Straight Ones;" the LMS Band has never done that before!

In the Sightreading portion, you did very well--not only in playing, but also in the way you were self-disciplined and silent during the process. Your "I" rating in Sightreading also gave you a "Superior" rating for that part of the contest.

But both those "Superior" ratings together, and you have earned the 1st-ever SWEEPSTAKES award for our middle school! Way to go guys!!!!!!!!!! You should be very proud of the work you have done.
