Festival Band
By Andrew Swendsen
The band members and directors worked for several weeks with many
extra rehearsals to prepare for this performance.
As a result, they received Superior ratings from the judges on all
accounts.
The final procedure was the sight reading evaluation. The Etowah band
was required to sight read a concert level music selection. This can be
an intimidating evaluation but the band did extremely well, receiving
another Superior rating.
The judges were obviously very impressed with the Etowah High
School band and their corrections were extremely minor. It was
cheerfully remarked, “You are lucky to have great directors!” by one of
the judges.
