This Week in Band: 3/11/24

Good Evening,

I wanted to take a moment and extend my congratulations to the members of the Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band for their highly-rated performances this past week! Each band received Superior ratings from the three adjudicators who heard the stage performance AND the adjudicator who assessed their sight-reading performance! Their dedication and hard work were evident in their performances’ energy, clarity, and impact. Each performance was a thrill to be a part of!

To put this achievement into context, this is only the third time since 2000 that ALL of Lake Mary’s bands (Marching, Jazz, Wind Ensemble, & Symphonic Band) have received Superior ratings at their MPAs!

I am so proud of these students and how they rallied to make this year’s performances successful and memorable!

Now, we take a moment to breathe, enjoy our success, and begin preparing for our Spring Concert! But first…..SPRING BREAK!!!!!!

Mr. Langston
