CHS Bands Achieve Superior Ratings at West TN Concert Band Assessment

Yesterday at the West Tennessee Concert Band Assessment our Pride of Collierville Concert Bands achieved the highest ratings. The rubrics covers all of the national standards for music and assigns a number system to define comprehension and execution.
Superior rating -1
Excellent rating 2
Good rating – 3
Fair rating - 4
Poor rating – 5
Our Concert Band, which is all freshman, played grade 4 level music receiving Superior ratings from all music adjudicators.
Our Symphony Band played grade 5 music and received an overall rating of Superior (CONGRATULATIONS to our new teacher Mrs. Burgess for this accomplishment). They played music at the same level as other local schools top ensembles.
Our Wind Symphony played grade 6 music which is the hardest grade level of music and received Superiors from every judge. We were the only school in West Tennessee to play grade 6 music and the piece of music they played “Lincolnshire Posy” is possibly one the hardest piece to play for a high school ensemble!
Please Congratulate a band student today when you see them. This is no easy task for ALL of our ensemble to be this high caliber. We are extremely proud of them!
