The Concert Band, with 97
students, received four first-place Division I superior ratings from
the judges.
The Jazz Band, with 18
students, received three first-place Division I superior ratings
from the judges.
The Mixed Choir, with 35
students, received four first-place Division I superior ratings from
the judges.
A perfect day for the music
program at Lincoln Community High School.
Each ensemble begins their busy
schedule in a home room assigned by the event organizer. Five
minutes prior to their scheduled 30 minute warm-up, a guide meets
with them and takes them to the warm-up site. After a brief and
harried warm-up and tuning session, the guide then escorts the
students to the contest site, where they are given 30 minutes to set
up, and perform, before a panel of three judges. Immediately
following this performance, the Concert Band and Concert Choir are
led to yet another room to sight-read for a single judge. (Jazz
bands are exempt from sight reading.) In this room the groups are
handed music that they have never seen before and are given 10
minutes to discuss it. No playing or singing of any part is
allowed during this time. Once the allotted discussion time is up,
each group then begins to play or sing through their sight reading
selection.

Some students participating in
all three organizations did not have one minute to relax. The band
warmed up at 6, performed at 6:30 and sight-read at 7. They then
made a quick trip back to home room, where Jazz Band students picked
up their jazz instruments and were back in the warm-up room at 7:30.
The Jazz Band performed at 8, finished, handed their instruments to
one of the students not involved in the choir and headed to warm up
with the choir, scheduled for 8:30. The choir then performed at 9
and went straight to sight reading at 9:30. Finishing sight reading
around 9:50, they headed back to home room, grabbed their horns, got
on the bus and everyone left around 10.
The community of Lincoln can be
proud of these students and their accomplishments.
Congratulations on a job well
done.
