Greetings,
I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to the students in the EHS Wind Ensemble for a terrific performance last night. These students performed with open ears, open minds and a musical nuance that rivals most performing groups I’ve worked with. The passion and dedication in your performance was noted --- the judges indicated on the comment sheets that the band had tremendous energy and spirit. I have to agree! The stage was electric!
I would like to also mention that the EHS Wind Ensemble performed the TOUGHEST literature that will be performed all weekend at the Florida Bandmaster’s Association Music Performance Assessment. We continue to challenge our students with quality literature and dedicated practice. To receive the ratings we did (“Excellent” according to FBA) is a HUGE honor considering the level of difficulty in the music. You should be VERY proud. I am very proud of this ensemble and look forward to promoting positive attitudes, musicianship and a high level of performance through the end of the year. Congratulations, Wind Ensemble.
Musically yours,
Mr. Pardee
