CHS Wind Symphony is National Winner
The CHS Wind Symphony is the national winner in the 2017 Mark of Excellence / National Wind Band Honors Project. The “Mark of Excellence” music competition is entered with recordings that honor music programs and their ensembles for high standards in performance.
The Foundation for Music Education sponsors this project. Ensembles are judged by nationally respected adjudicators, with the top quarter being named as National Winners and the second quarter receiving Commended Honors. This year, 278 of the finest musical ensembles in the nation entered the competition. The project received entries from 38 states.
The participating groups received written comments and suggestions from the adjudicators and a compilation CD of the winning performances.
Creekview Director of Bands, Arturo Denis, said, “the performance of the Creekview Wind Symphony represents the very highest level of music teaching, learning and performing. Congratulations to the Senior Class of 2017 and current members of the Wind Symphony for this accomplishment! Special recognition and appreciation to; Associate Directors, Mr. Maxwell Atkinson and Mr. Matt Neal; Mr. LaPuma, CHS Principal; and Mr. Brett Farr, CFBISD Fine Arts Director, for their ongoing support and contributions!”
