Ontariio Band Association festival feb. 11, 2016

Saint Elizabeth Senior Concert Band performs at 8:00 a.m., and is awarded Gold!  Further, our band is being further recognized to be given one of the special awards, for it performance of Persichetti's Psalm for Band, and suite in f, by Holst.  Also, the band has been invited to the Nationals level festival in May, to be held in Ottawa.  I am very pleased with our work at school and the students are approaching the music learning and performing with a bit more sophistication.  I am proud to be recognized and look forward to continued success. The OBA festival is great.  I have been attending and participating for years.  Congratulations to the school, the program and of course the students for their professional and artistic performance completed yesterday, early morning!
Next event is Music Alive festival, held in York Region.  Participating at festivals is a wonderful and worthwhile experience.  It is challenging and it opens a window to exploring repertoire, getting feedback from adjudicators and the workshop is fantastic, too.
