Mineral Springs High School Band Receives First Division Rating

The Mineral Springs High School band recently received a first division sight reading award at Lake Hamilton.

The Mineral Springs High School Band recently participated in the ASBOA Region 2 large ensemble performance festival. During the festival the band earned a superior rating at the sight reading portion of the festival.

The sight reading portion of the festival is where the students are given a brand new piece of music that they have never seen before. They are given seven (7) minutes to look over the piece of music and work out any technical problems they encounter all without playing a single note. Then at the end of the 7 minutes of instruction, the students are required to perform the selection for the judge.

Their performance earned them a superior rating. This is the first superior rating the band has earned in quite some time and is a testament to the hard work the students have been putting in all year long.
