Congratulations to the Prairie Middle School Band
for their straight superior ratings at the recent Idaho Music Educators
District II Festival. Mr. Dan Buckvich and Dr. Lori Enloe, professors of
music at U. of I. Lionel Hampton School of music awarded the Prairie Band
with Superior ratings at the festival held in Moscow. Mr. Eynon, Prairie
Schools Music Director indicated this is the event band directors work
towards all year, and Superior ratings are only awarded very judiciously
to those groups who truly merit such honors. The adjudication process is
rigorous, and impartial, judges comments enable a director to identify
those areas of musicianship where the band is on track or in need of improvement
for their performances. The Prairie School District Music Department is
building a tradition of Pride and Excellence in Performance this year and
looks forward to growth in the program for next year! Click on the photo
