LGPE: Large Group Performance Evaluation

Band LGPE (Large Group Performance Evaluation) is a GMEA sponsored event where 7th and 8th grade bands are evaluated on their musical performance and sight reading abilities. This is the most important band performance of the year - our "Band CRCT".

1) Stage Performance
A panel of three judges provides insightful comments and an overall grade
(I = Superior, II = Excellent, III = Good, IV = Fair, V = Poor). Our district also provides
three section evaluators (woodwind, brass, percussion) and a conductor evaluator.

2) Clinic
Parents - follow us from the stage to the clinic/sight-reading room. Students are treated to a session with a widely respected band director. This clinician can offer immediate feedback and tips for the students; a fun and educational experience.

3) Sight-Reading
The band is issued a piece that neither the students nor directors have seen, and reads it at sight for a sight-reading judge (I = Superior, II = Excellent, III = Good, IV = Fair, V = Poor).

4) Watching Other Bands
An important part of the learning process is watching other bands. Depending on our performance time, we will watch bands either before warm-up or after sight-reading.
