Congratulations to the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble for each giving an exceptional performance at their annual Concert Music Performance Assessment this past weekend.

Concert Band received an overall Excellent rating, Symphonic Band received an overall Superior rating, and Wind Ensemble received straight Superior ratings from each judge.

Thank you to everyone who attended these performances and supported our students!  It is never fun to play in front of an empty auditorium.

These students will begin to prepare new music for our spring concert in May.  Wind Ensemble students will be preparing to perform at the State Concert Music Performance Assessment on Tuesday, April 23rd.  This performance will be held at Fort Walton Beach High School.  All wind ensemble parents are encouraged to attend!

Each one of our concert ensembles will be giving their annual Concert Music Performance Assessment performance this Thursday or Friday at Fort Walton Beach High School.  This is an adjudicated performance, and is absolutely mandatory for every student in the band program.

The students have worked very hard in preparing ever musical detail for these performances, so parents and friends are certainly encouraged to attend.  If you wish to check your child out AFTER the performance, please send an email notification of this no later than Wednesday, March 6th at 12:00noon to denaroa@santarosa.k12.fl.us
