PRE-LARGE GROUP PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (LGPE) CONCERT: The Centennial HS Orchestra department will participate in this year’s Large Group Performance Evaluations (LGPE). In the music world, this performance is equivalent to the Georgia Milestones or the End of Course (EOC) tests that occur in core classes. As an ensemble, we are judge and evaluated based on what we present to our adjudicators. In preparation for our real evaluation, we will have a simulation of the evaluation process for parents to observe on Thursday March 19, 2026 at 6:30 pm. We will have a judge or two who will provide feedback for out students to implement for our actual evaluation, which will take place on Thursday March 26, 2026. This will be a great opportunity to observe the life of your student musician, and see how their preparation (or lack thereof) goes into the success of our yearly evaluation.
PLEASE NOTE : Students are REQUIRED to observe their peers’ performance during this pre-LGPE concert. Please plan your schedules accordingly for this concert.
