« UPDATE! Sixth Grade String Jamboree | Main | Check Your Calendar »

Congratulations to the Mabry Eighth Grade Orchestra. Their performance at the Cobb Orchestra Directors Association Performance Evaluation was awesome. This most important performance of their MS orchestra "career" couldn't have gone better. You received "Superior" (I's) from all judges including sight reading. Of the 28 sub-categories you received I's in 25. I got great comments from all the judges. Here are a few:

"The best intonation I've ever heard in a middle school orchestra!"
"You guys are awesome!"
"Great tone quality. Warm, rich, vibrant"
"Awesome phrasing in Fantasia"
"Great music being made"
"More vibrato from Violins and Viola's"
"EXAGGERATE your dynamics"
"Good job on attention to details in bowing, rhythms, intonation. Take expression, vibrato, and dynamics to that same level. "

Thanks Eighth Graders for three years of hard work. I'm proud of you. Now go do the same thing in the LHS Orchestra!
