Congratulations to the Richmond Middle School 8th Grade Band! On Thursday the 8th Grade Concert Band participated in the MSBOA District 16 Band Festival at Fraser High School. The 8th grade band was awarded a strong Second Division rating from the panel of three adjudicators in the class C division and earned a medal. The adjudicators judged the band in the categories of Tone, Intonation, Rhythm, Technique and Interpretation. These students did earn a First Division in Sight Reading! This ensemble has accomplished a great deal to date and we are looking for continued success as we move toward our spring concert. Congratulations to the students on their outstanding performance to conclude a great festival-preparation season!
