Band Receives High Marks at Pre-District Contest Feb. 12

Information provided by Kendal Hasty

The band recieved two 1s and one 2 for an overall 1 rating (Superior) at Pre-district Band contest in Lone Grove. 

This is the 1st Superior rating the band has received in many years. Hopefully the band will continue  this trend into the District Band contest in Ada on March 6. If the band receives a Superior rating (1) at District, the band will qualify to go to the State Band Contest for the first time since 2002. 

Getting a 1 at District is still going to be a difficult task and there is also a Sight-reading component. During the Sight-reading portion of the contest the band has to perform a piece they have never seen before with only 8 minutes of silent preparation.
