– By Leslie Capozzoli (a.k.a. Ms. C), Emerson Orchestra Teacher
Several of our 7th and 8th grade Band and Orchestra members performed on Saturday, February 7, at the Solo and Ensemble Festival in Livonia. Students performed before judges to receive valuable feedback, as well as a rating and a medal. We had 32 Emerson performances at the festival, and every one of them received a rating of 1 or 2 (the top scores on a scale of 1 – 5).
Mrs. Borton and Ms. C enjoyed watching the ensembles practice and prepare over the last few months. The students were largely self-directed and they showed terrific leadership and teamwork. Congratulations to all of the students who performed!
