Last week the 7th and 8th grade students participated in Large Group Performance Evaluation. Friday, we began our discussion about LGPE and will continue this week to celebrate our successes and listen to both praise and suggestions for improvement from the adjudicators. The hope is to apply their suggestions as we move forward in our musical journey. After we finish our listening and discussion, we will begin working on new music for our final performances of the school year. Special thanks to the Daniell and Sprayberry Parents who helped chaperone the LGPEs and thanks to Mr. Esserwein and Mr. Ellis, Sprayberry Directors, for meeting us at McEachern to assist Ms. Holbrook by managing the percussion equipment and helping the percussionists assemble the equipment before performances and then take it apart and pack it for transport after the LGPEs.
