On March 10th, the New Market Middle School 7th and 8th grade band went to Walkersville High School to be judged and critiqued by a group of professional musicians and educators.
With quite an outstanding performance from the group, the 7th and 8th grade band received a "superior" score from all 3 judges. They finished the day with a clinic from one of the judges, Mr. Micah Socks, who gave the band lots of praise but also lots of invaluable feedback to help them progress.
Great job NMMS Band!
Please be sure students are coming to class each day prepared with a charged Chromebook, pencils and paper!
Thank you!
