The Ricebird Band participated in UIL Contest & Sight Reading where they earned some of the best ratings El Campo has had in years!
🏆 The ECMS Non-Varsity band (comprised of mostly 7th graders) earned a 3-3-3 (Good) rating on stage with their prepared music and a 2-2-2 (Excellent) rating in the sight reading room.
🏆The ECMS Varsity band received a 1-1-1 (Superior) on stage and a 1-1-1 (Superior) in the sight reading room, earning the highest rating a band can receive along with the distinction of a Sweepstakes Award winning ensemble!
🏆The High School Band earned a 1-2-2 on stage and a 2-2-1 in the sight reading room.
🎉 Congratulations to all!
Here is a short description of what this performance looks like...in January, bands choose 3 pieces of music from the UIL-approved list that they practice for 2-3 months. They perform their prepared selections for 3 judges who adjudicate and critique each ensemble while giving them a rating. Those judges give a rating ranging from 1 (Superior) to 5 (Very Poor). After their judged performance on the stage, bands are escorted into another room where they are given a new piece of music (never before seen) that they can practice for only 7 minutes. After the allotted time expires, they perform for a second set of judges to receive their Sight Reading score.
