The Cortez Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade bands received superior ratings at the Northwest New Mexico Music Educators Associate Large Group Evaluation.<\/p>\n
The evaluation was held at the Brooks\/Isham Performing Arts Center in Kirtland on March 6.<\/p>\n
The CMS bands are directed by Andrew Campo and Alex Mohr.<\/p>\n
According Campo, on a scale of 100 points, both bands received an average score of 96 from a panel of three judges.<\/p>\n
Campo also wrote in an email to The Journal that the bands were evaluated on their music literacy as they \u201csight-read\u201d an unknown song without practicing it and were awarded with top ratings of \u201cSuperior.\u201d<\/p>\n
The seventh-grade band played \u201cYorktown March\u201d by John Edmondson, \u201cTheme and Variations\u201d by Timothy Broege and \u201cCeltic Air and Dance\u201d by Michael Sweeney.<\/p>\n
The eighth-grade band performed Activity March by Harold Bennett and Larry Clark, Sea Song Fantasy by Anne McGinty and Eagle Mountain Overture by Robert Sheldon, according to Campo.<\/p>\n
\u201cCortez Middle School band members made their school and community proud with their performances, professionalism and dedication,\u201d Campo wrote in an email to The Journal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
