Thank you!
Thank you, Mrs. Tamara Johnson, for all you do for students and families.
A huge congratulations to our BHL Band students for earning Straight Superior Ratings at the Georgia Music Educators Association Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE). This is the highest possible rating a band can receive, and our students earned it in every category.
For this state-level assessment, students prepared three contrasting pieces of music, including a traditional concert march. After their stage performance, they immediately transitioned to a Sight Reading Evaluation, where they were given only six minutes to study, rehearse, and perform a piece of music they had never seen before.
We are incredibly proud of their discipline, teamwork, and commitment to superior leadership!
