MPA is a Music Performance Assessment that includes signing and sightreading. Sightreading is reading musical notes off of a sheet. Some sightreading is solfege, such as “Do Ri Me Fa Sol La Ti Do.” But another sightreading is syllables, for example, ta di takadimi and sincopay. In MPA you do both, while the judges are taking notes you try your best to do good.
All the choirs got superior, which is an A+, the choirs, Allegro (Boys), Premiere (1st-year girls), and Bella Voce (Advanced girls) all did amazing. All the choirs got an excellent overall in singing, and excellent is an A.
In Mr. Bailey’s words, “No performance is ever perfect but I couldn’t be more proud, great things are happening and I can’t wait to see how everyone will grow next year.” Mr. Bailey wanted to share a funny story, all 3 choirs got judged in sightreading by Mr. Bailey’s old choir instructor
