Band Receives Excellent and Superior Ratings in Summerville

The JMS Concert Band performed at the South Carolina Band Director's Association Concert Performance Assessment in Summerville, SC in March. They performed in front of 5 judges and received 3 Excellent ratings on stage for their three prepared pieces, and an Excellent and Superior in Sight Reading.  For the sight reading portion, they have 6 minutes to review a brand new piece with the director and then perform it for the judges. They worked real hard and came away with an overall Excellent rating.  This concert is an assessment on the state standards for middle school band students throughout the state.
