Many thanks to our coaches Steve Sonnenborn, Jerry Miller, Bob Toroni & Tom Armbruster. Another word of thanks to our parents Mr. Clark & Mr. Fleck.

CONCERT CHOIR & MADRIGALS
Saint Basil Academy Concert Choir & Madrigals will be attending the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Adjudication Event at Immaculata University on Wednesday, April 13, 2016. The overall goals of the PMEA adjudication are:
To foster musical achievement; To provide recognition for musical achievement of individuals and ensembles through medals, plaques and/or certificates; To provide students and directors the opportunity to hear performances by ensembles and soloists from other schools. Adjudicators will assess the performance and assign a score for five evaluation areas: Tone, Intonation, Accuracy, Technique and Interpretation. Additional feedback will be given within each evaluation area identifying areas of strength, concern, and areas needing attention. Immediately following the performance of each group, the adjudicator will provide a brief clinic offering feedback concerning any aspect of the performance. The goal is to "personalize" the assessment process by enabling communication from a 'live' adjudicator directly to the students.
Good Luck to our students!!
