Ada HS band "excellent" at District III event
The Ada High School Concert Band attended the Ohio Music Educators Association (OMEA) Band and Choir Competition on Friday, March 8 at Lima Senior High School.
The 38-member Ada band was rated "Excellent" by a board of judges for District III of the OMEA.
Ada's band competed in Class C, performing three selections in front of a panel of judges who offer written and verbal comments. Ada played "Valley Forge" by King, "Kentucky 1800" by Grundman, and "Spontaneous Combustion" by Sheldon.
An additional sight-reading component, where the band plays a piece of music they have not been exposed to until the time it is first seen and played at the competition, was part of the scoring formula for the event.
The Ada High School concert band is under the direction of Mr. Jonathan Lischak. District III of the OMEA includes the counties of Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Mercer, Paulding, Putnum and Van Wert.
