The high school musicians from Cascade performed at the District Music Festival April 6-7 in Great Falls. There were 10 solos or ensembles that performed and all did very well. Those that earned a "I" (Superior) qualified to go on to the State Music Festival on May 5-6 in Missoula.
Thank to the parents who were there supporting us.
All of our student musicians earned either a "I" or "II" rating (on a scale of "V" - see below). After they performed their music the adjudicators worked with the students and our young musicians learned a lot from this experience. The Concert Band earned Superior (I) ratings in the prepared music in the sight reading evaluation. The Concert Choir also earned an Excellent (II) rating on the prepared music and Good (III) rating on the new, challenging sight reading. Mr. Skogley is very proud of the performances of the Band and Choir (large groups do not advance to the State Music Festival regardless of their ratings) as well as our soloists and ensemble members. What a great bunch of kids to teach!
