The Bluffs Middle School 8th
Grade Band, under the direction of Mike Koch, performed for
the Music In The Parks Festival on Saturday, May 12. The Festival
was held in the Denver area, and the band performed at
Standley Lake High School in Westminster, CO.
The band was judged on tone quality, intonation, rhythm, technique, and musicality. They performed two pieces for the judges "Of Wizards and Warriors" by Roland Barrett and "March Creole" by Stephen Bulla.
The band received a Superior Rating from the judges and the first place trophy for Class A (schools of 750 or less). The band also received the trophy for Overall Junior High/Middle School Concert Band.
