LLMEA will be hosting our annual Music Performance Assessment for bands, orchestras, and choirs from March 4-8, 2024. We have had GREAT attendance over the years and want to have you and your group(s) join us for our 9th year!
Why do an adjudication? Well, why not?! The adjudication process is one of the best ways to make YOUR ENTIRE ENSEMBLE better! The festival system is great in recognizing the best individual students in our programs, but adjudication focuses on the whole!
For those that are new to the idea, ensembles meet at the host site (Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center on the Millersville University campus) to perform prepared literature for adjudicators who will give feedback on your performance and insightful tips on improvement. A sightreading component is offered, but not required. You may register in the “contest” category for ratings and comments, or the “festival” category with comments only. Speaking from experience, this process has transformed our program and how we rehearse. It has improved our overall approach to literature and has made us more efficient through the music learning process.
Many of our member ensembles have participated and keep coming back! If you have never joined us, please consider registering! If you are interested and want to join us in 2024, please email me at smuenz@clsd.k12.pa.us – Don’t forget to indicate the number/type of ensemble(s) you wish to bring. Please pass this on to any interested colleagues in your district.
Participation/scheduling will be done on a first come, first served basis, so don’t sleep on this opportunity! An official registration will be sent in January, but this will act as our “sign up.”
If your district is interested in sending multiple groups (i.e. more than 2), please reach out to discuss possible scheduling solutions. Schedules are based primarily off of adjudicator availability.
Thanks,
Scott Muenz
