Both the Concert and Symphonic Bands performed for adjudication at the PIL JV Band Festival held at Lincoln HS on Thursday, April 18th. The panel was full of experienced adjudicators, so I was excited for our groups to receive a fantastic clinic and feedback from them.

The Concert Band received great feedback and had their best performance of the year, receiving two superior ratings.

The Symphonic Band received some incredible feedback and received two superior scores that would have qualified them to participate in the 5A State Band Championships!

I am very proud of every student that put forth great effort in accomplishing these fine performances.  The future is bright at Cleveland HS!!

Just a couple more sessions and our students will be ready for the Grand Floral Parade! We need several volunteers for two different dates this month.

No sewing skills necessary, a lead volunteer will guide the process. Click here to sign up!
