The Morton West Concert Band and Wind Ensemble performed before music professors from several universities at the UIC Band Festival last Friday. After their performance, one of the judges offered a 25-minute clinic for the ensemble, focusing on specific areas to enhance their overall sound and musicianship. In addition to this clinic, the ensemble received written and recorded feedback, and a performance rating. Both ensembles achieved Division I (Superior) ratings. Congratulations to our student musicians and Mr. Boland for guiding the band program to this achievement!
