Congratulations to our state ensembles! I am so proud of all of the work you have done and feel like you all represented Kennedy very well today at CWU. It is such an honor to be asked to perform here... hopefully those who weren't able to perform today will glean some musicianship off of the performances they heard today. Maybe some of you might even start up marimba lessons, huh?
Ok- here's what you really care about... the Earth Song mixed ensemble scores. Comments first! Here's a sampling directly from the judge's sheets: thoughtful approach, good energy & tempo, tuning issues, fantastic voices in choir, balance bounces in & out, well rehearsed, solid group, love Hark I Hear- great piece for you, mostly feeling everything together... scores: II, II, I. Yes, a I. At state. Very good!!!! Remember that a II is excellent and a I means superior.
Be proud of that musical moment. I am.
Hey everyone! (Well the few people that read the blog anyways.)
ReplyDeleteMy step-dad took a few videos of the performances so I thought I'd post the link to them here.
