2019 Music Performance Assessment Details
Greetings All,
Rehearsals are going great in preparation for MPA. The event is a month out, and has been on our calendar from the beginning. Now that the event is finalized, here is the need-to-know.
On March 7, the Concert and Symphonic Bands will be traveling to Opelika HS, during the school day, to perform for our annual Alabama Bandmasters’ Association Music Performance Assessment. This is a graded and required performance for all members of our bands. It is our “standardized” assessment of our students fundamentals, musicianship, and preparation.
This is important to our program, and their grade.
You are welcome to attend these performances. There is no admission charge. They are at the Opelika Performing Arts Center as follows:
BRHS Concert Band: Mr O’Bryant, Conductor 9:00 a.m. Thursday, March 7
BRHS Symphonic Band: Mr Bloodworth, Conductor 10:30 a.m. Thursday, March 7
ACMS Advanced Band wears the same outfit for MPA, so all students should already have this attire.
Concert attire is:
Black Pants
Tux Shirt and bowtie (cummerbund is optional, but wear it if you have it)
-undergarments should be white. Females should consider a white camisole
Black socks or stockings
Black shoes (marching shoes are acceptable, if clean)
-Females may wear black flats (heels are not acceptable)
In addition, ALL BRHS DRESS CODE IS IN EFFECT. Being out of uniform will result in being left at school and receiving a grade of “0” for the performance.
Schedule is as follows:
Rehearsals with Percussion: (Our percussion are not in band classes…)
***WE KNOW THERE WILL BE CONFLICTS, MAKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. STUDENTS MAY NOT MISS THEM ALL***
I will arrange for break rehearsals to go over and practice sight reading procedures.

Thursday, Feb 28 3:30-4:30 Concert Band
Tuesday, March 5 3:30-4:30 Symphonic Band
