Solo & Ensemble MPA, Feb. 19-20: Details

Below are details on the Solo & Ensemble MPA, from Mr. Dunn. We will try to post the schedule here soon.

Solo and Ensemble Information


What: Solo and Ensemble MPA (Music Performance Assessment) this is an Opportunity for your student to participate on a smaller scale for ratings. Your student will get judged on their solo or ensemble and receive a grade based on how well they perform.

When: February 19-20 at your assigned time on Friday night or sometime Saturday morning. The event should take about an hour or less within the time you are assigned. (Waiting for times to post soon)

Where: Alonso High School 8302 Montague Street, Tampa, FL 33635-6014 (About 15 mins from Coleman if you take the Waters Ave. exit on the Veterans)

Who: Any 7th or 8th grade students who filled out the entry form have been registered. The cost is 3 dollars per entry and between 10 to 20 dollars more for a piano player if they are doing a solo. All checks should be written to the Coleman Band Boosters and money should be turned in to Mr. Dunn.

Attire: Something Nice-Like you are going to a fancy dinner or event-No Jeans or Sneakers

What to Do: Your students will need to be at Alonso High School one hour before their performance time. You then need to find their judges room to see if the room is running on time or behind. Your student should then warm-up in the Cafeteria( which is on the north side of the school). You can leave your cases and non important stuff in the cafeteria. About ten minutes before your performance time you should report to your judge’s room. Your student will then perform their piece and do an amazing job. You then will go back to the warm-up room, pack up and wait for your results to post outside of the concession stand. When you get your results can go home and stop for ice cream.

Thanks,
Chris Dunn
