2025-2026 School Year

Spring Semester

MPA 2026

On Wednesday March 25th Advanced Band students along with a few Beginning Band students, traveled to Elizabeth City State University to the NC Band Master's Association Eastern District MPA. Students Perfomed the three songs we had been working on and then had to enter a different room and sight read (play for the very first time) a piece no one had ever seen (it is not published yet, written specifically for state sight reading assessments).

I couldn't be prouder of how well behaved they were and how hard they worked for this.

MPA Rehearsals

Students spent two Saturday mornings and one Teacher Workday morning preparing for this year's NC Band Master's Association Eastern District Music Performance Adjudication (MPA) this is a State Assessment and I am so proud of how hard they worked.

End of the Year Band Celebration

To celebrate all the successes from this year, students, parents and families came together on Friday April 11th, along with SCMS band families and MCHS band families to enjoy each other's company and to have some yummy food.

Football

On March 18, 2025 the MCMS Middle School partipated in the 2025 NC Band Master's Association MPA.

For the last 2 years our band has chosen music from Level 1 pieces, this year we leveled up and went with Level 2 music.

On stage we received an Excellent from 3 judges and in the Sightreading room we received a Superior rating from the sightreading judge.

Our students worked very hard to accomplish these ratings and I am incredibly proud of them all.
