District Band Festival Results
It was a successful day on Saturday for the Berkley HS Concert Band and Symphonic Band. The concert band, who had never gone to festival for a rating before, received straight IIs. The Symphonic Band played well enough to receive a I rating overall in concert rating, but had an off-day in sight-reading, leading to an overall II rating. I was extremely proud of how both bands played, and it gives me (and the students, I hope) encouragement to continue to grow and get better. It was also really fun to see our Ferndale neighbors and our friends at Seaholm HS.

Yes Mr. Shaw I fully Agree that the Symphonic band Did Superbly Well in the preformance. however when it came to the sight reading I believe that our style of the march resembled that of Brittish Eighth instead of the american style of march which is, from what I have learned, fast,fast,fast.
That may be. Sometimes you have to choose accuracy over speed, but if the tempo is too slow, they can certaily fault you for that.
