TCPS Student Musicians Selected for All-Shore Bands

March 31, 2021 by Talbot County Public Schools

Share

Students from the Talbot County Public Schools (TCPS) secondary band programs recently auditioned for the Eastern Shore Band Director’s Association (ESBDA) Junior and Senior All-Shore Bands.  Students from every county on the Eastern Shore of Maryland compete for limited spots. In order to audition virtually this year, each student submitted a video of a chromatic scale and a prepared solo.  The performances were adjudicated by a member of the ESBDA, and students were assessed on tone, rhythm, dynamics, tempo, articulations and accidentals.

The following TCPS students were selected:
