2010 - FBA BAND MUSIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTCongratulations to everyone for two excellent performances at MPA. We had many people, including other band directors, compliment us on both of our band’s performances and we are very proud of the musical growth we have seen in our students so far this year. Our experiences on stage were very special and meaningful and learning the art of music is one of the most complicated processes in the human experience. We would like to thank our chaperones for donating their time and helping to make this event a big success. We could not have done it without you! 2010 FAU BAND FESTIVALCongratulations to our Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble for their performances in the FAU Band Festival.
