SFPS Music Performance Assessment Honorable Achievements

By SFPS 

Santa Fe Public Schools’ Band, Choir, Guitar, and String Orchestra ensembles recently performed in the New Mexico Music Educators’ Association Music Performance Assessment. SFPS proudly acknowledges music directors and their students, representing ensembles from
every SFPS K-8 school, middle school, and both large high schools. According to Leanne DeVane, Music Education Coordinator, “Music Performance Assessment embodies intensive study in musical skill development, music academics and music literacy, and the ability
to render musical performances in an artistic manner.” Bands and choirs earning a “superior” or “excellent” in prepared performances qualify for the New Mexico Activities Association State Band and Choir Contest. Performances are the culmination of months
of preparation and are in themselves an admirable accomplishment for students.
