Weekly Update

Congratulations to all three concert bands on a successful MPA and congratulations to Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Wind Symphony for both having great performances at the Collier County Concert Band Festival! The clinicians at the Concert Band Festival were very complimentary of our bands and gave some great comments on how we can continue to improve. We will listen to the MPA judges’ comments in class when they become available. Video recordings of our jazz bands and concert bands have been posted on the band website in case you missed the performance: https://www.prhsbands.org/mpa-band-concert-performances.html.

This week all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade woodwind and brass students are having their final playing test of the year.
