Ransom, Tate String Orchestras Earn Superior Ratings

February 19, 2013

Three of Escambia County School District’s string orchestras, along with 11other school groups from the Tallahassee area, participated in the Florida Orchestra Association, District 3 Music Performance Assessment (MPA) in Tallahassee.

As part of the MPA process, the orchestras performed concert music for three judges and then played a piece at sight for a fourth judge.

Ransom Middle School and Tate High School, both under the direction of Cathy McConnell, participated for the first time this year and each earned a Superior rating for their performance.

After traveling to Tallahassee and participating for the first time last year, Brown Barge Middle School, under the direction of Christina Frierdich and Jonathan Clark, was given an overall Excellent rating this year.

    Congratulations Maestros and Orchestra instrumentalist.

    I love to hear cellos, violens and a harp with a string bass, acoustic guitar. I would like to request the Theme from the Cincinati Kid, the 10538 overture and East of the Sun/West of the Moon as those are three of my favorites.

    Maybe we will have an opportunity to hear you perform on WSRE Public Television? That woul be great!
