HSEHS Concert Bands Earn ‘Gold’ Ratings from ISSMA

Two Hamilton Southeastern High School concert bands received “gold” ratings at the ISSMA State Organizational Contest at Pendleton Heights High School.  The chamber ensemble and wind symphony performed three selections each for a panel of three adjudicators and earned consistent high ratings.  Both bands also earned “gold” ratings in the sight-reading category of the contest, where the band is evaluated on learning a new piece of music. Michael Niemiec and John Cook direct the two groups.
