Congratulations to everyone for their strong showing at FBA Solo & Ensemble Competition on February 3 & 4, 2012. The hard work each student has put in was evident in his or her performance. Listen to the Woodwind Ensemble as they play the piece for which they received a Superior rating. The judge was very complimentary, remarking, “You took me to another place.”

Tiger Regiment Posts Straight Superiors at F.B.A. Festival

tigerregiment — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:08:50 +0000

The MPA is the marching band’s FCAT, their final exam. Tiger Regiment performed their half-time show for judges, and are given a grade between Superior, Excellent and Good. There are five scores:

2 for Marching & Maneuvering
1 for Music Performance
1 for Auxiliary (Color Guard and Majorettes)
1 for General Effect

The best possible score is Straight Superiors — i.e. Superior from all 5 judges. A score of “one” is a Superior. MPA is a huge deal, and the reason why the band works extremely hard on sounding exactly right and making sure every move is done correctly.
