Yesterday, the QACHS Concert Band and QACHS Symphonic Band both traveled to North Dorchester High School in Hurlock to attend the 2020 Maryland District V Band Festival.  This is our annual District Evaluation where we play a warm-up selection, and two other prepared selections that are for evaluation on stage and then move to another room to go through a Sight Reading Assessment.  Both of the groups presented an excellent performance on stage and did an amazing job in sight reading.  The Concert Band received three “Excellent” Ratings for their stage performance, and a “Superior” rating in Sight Reading for an overall “Excellent” rating for the day.  The Symphonic Band received three”Superior” ratings on stage, and a “Superior” rating in Sight Reading for an overall “Superior” rating for the day.  As a result, the Symphonic Band has qualified to attend the Maryland State Band Festival next month.
