GMS Strings Orchestra Earns an Excellent Rating!
Led by Mrs. Diane Atkins, 21 of our strings students participated in the Concert Performance Assessment competition at North Greenville University on Wednesday, March 7.
For this competition, the students prepared several musical selections and performed the music for a panel of judges. The judges then rated and scored their orchestral performance based upon the following: Tone Quality, Intonation, Rhythmic Precision, Musical Effect, Performance Posture & Position, and Formal Presentation.
The students could earn one of the following ratings.
- Superior: 42-50 out of 50
- Excellent: 34-41 out of 50
- Good: 26-33 out of 50
- Fair: 18-25 out of 50
- Poor: 10-17 out of 50
Our GMS Strings Orchestra earned an Excellent rating and 41.25 points! They missed a Superior score by just 3/4 of a point.) This is the first time Gettys Middle has competed at the Concert performance Assessment, so these students deserve extra special congratulations for performing at this level!
