My first cross-county field trip on school buses.
My first Choral Music Performance Assessment.
My first time conducting in front of my peers.
My first time as a director in a sight-reading room.
My first time wearing my new concert dress.
I was so proud of my students for giving their best effort last night at Mandarin High School during the Florida Vocal Association's Music Performance Assessment. I took my top auditioned choirs to participate in this district competition and it was such a great learning experience for all of us. I especially liked the sight-reading judge. She was so positive and encouraging to my students. Sight-reading can be a rather nerve-wracking experience, especially if you are not comfortable doing it.
The scores are in....Vocal Ensemble - Superior overall. Ladies' Chamber - Excellent overall. Not bad for a rookie's first run!
If we can swing it financially, I will take my Vocal Ensemble to Tallahassee in April to compete at the State level. Road trip!! Can't wait!!
Until next time...
