Superior

This was a busy band week for Morgan. She had Jazz Music Performance Assessment (MPA) on Thursday night. She didn't get home until 10:30, but was happy to have received "superiors" for the band.

Last night (Friday) was solo MPA. She prepared a tenor sax piece. Our friend from church, Laura, accompanied her. Laura has accompanied Morgan on the violin the whole time we have lived here in Florida. Morgan didn't play until 9:10pm. It was late. It was across town. She had had Jazz the night before. She has Seminary every day. etc. etc. etc. BUT, Morgan did well. We waited around for about 30 minutes to see her score posted.

She received a superior rating!! We were all so pleased!! Here are Morgan and Laura, smiling after their award winning performance. Thanks so much to Laura for all her had work the last eleven years. She is always so willing to play the piano for all our various school and church endeavors. She also convinced Travis that having a busy schedule with teenagers is normal!! Thank you!!
Morgan goes back to night for ensemble MPA. She is in a tuba quartet.

UPDATE: Tuba quartet received SUPERIOR ratings!!

Well, we don't need a judge to tell us that Morgan is superior, although it is nice to get that confirmation! (jk) Congratulations Morgan!

If you can finagle a video clip of the tuba quartet, I would LOVE to see/hear it! I love bass clef sounds!

It truly was my pleasure to play for Morgan! I was so proud of her, too! That wasn't an easy piece, but she played it like a pro!
