The Montgomery Catholic Preparatory Band got results at the Alabama Bandmasters Association District Six Music Performance Assessment (MPA) on March 12, held at Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City. The event contained two judged competitions: a stage performance and a sight-reading performance. MCPS received all “Excellent” ratings for the stage performance and scored “Superior” in the sight-reading performance, which is the highest score attainable. A great achievement from a young group of musicians.
Led by Band Director Mr. Alex Johnson, the thirty-five Montgomery Catholic middle and high school students that participated at MPA were: Ashley Kim, Peter Nguyen, Jennifer Doan, Lacy Herbek, Audrey Kim, Christina DeVries, Mary Katherine Brunson, Mary Reagan Starrett, Logan Stevens, Asheigh Little, Kristina Vanella, Beth Vaughan, Kenneth Bell, David Fulton, Patrick Wood, Gavin Gaines, Roberto Calixtro, William Russell, Katie McDaniel, Michael Ester, David Bender, Adam Bristol, Will Brunson, Kaleb Libby, Alex Pierce, Joseph Thrash, Delohn Wyatt, Stone Miller, Joanne Spotswood, Berkeley Hall, Eric Crenshaw, Skye Alexander, Briana Chavez, Francisco Gonzalez, and Henry Petters.
