I want to say congrats to ALL bands, orchestras, and choirs for doing MPA no matter what your rating. Preparing a musical program you know is going to be criticized (hopefully constructively) in great detail with experienced music educators looking at the same notes you are is nerve-racking for students and teachers alike. You deserve recognition for your hard work and just being willing to step onto the critical stage (as opposed to a general public stage).

However FAR more important is that you are learning how to make ART. Ratings often distract from the true goal. Just by making beautiful music you are saving the planet! It is so badly needed in this world today more than ever. THAT ALONE is worth any “Superior” rating.

LloydMusic is now available for AFFORDABLE fall and spring commissions for scholastic ensembles: concert band, jazz band, percussion ensembles, etc. Check out some samples on YouTube: https://youtube.com/?si=5I-k5O0kp0qjXzX_

If you have not seen it, I recommend The Last Repair Shop on Disney Plus, winner of the Oscar for best short documentary this year. Especially for my musical friends and colleagues, but it will resonate (see what I did there?) with everyone. ❤️🎶
