If any YHSWE Seniors are interested in attending the Hershey trip to cheer on our Concert Band (and help with equipment!), please e-mail Ms. Glen Cove Senior Named To All-State Band - Glen Cove, NY - She performed in the All-State Symphonic Band at the 2017 NYSSMA Winter Conference last weekend. The assessments will take place during their lesson the week of 4/24. To help us prepare for our festival, Concert Band students will perform a video assessment of their festival music. As of this writing, approximately 300 Scarsdale students of all ages are scheduled to audition in the 2017 NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festival, and another 150 students are planning to audition in the Piano Festival. The judges provide written and recorded feedback of what we did well, and how we can continue to improve.
Instead we are graded on a 100-point-scale, and receive a rating of Good, Excellent, or Superior, based on how many points we score for the musical things we do well. We are not being compared to other bands – and therefore do not “win” 1 st, 2 nd, or 3 rd place. What I love about this experience is that it is a music festival, not a competition. The students will perform for a panel of college music educators (who will offer feedback and adjudicate our performance), enjoy time in Hershey Park, and attend an awards ceremony where they will receive an award based on their performance rating.

"I am so proud of these students and they should be proud of themselves!"
