Concert Band MPA (Music Performance Assessment) is an annual event where secondary school concert bands perform for expert adjudicators who evaluate their performance based on specific criteria, providing feedback for growth and a competitive goal for musicians and directors.
Hosted by organizations like the Florida Bandmasters Association, MPAs offer opportunities for bands to receive quality feedback, showcase their musical abilities, hear other ensembles, and work towards state or district-level recognition.
This event is open to the public and is FREE. An audience is encouraged if you are able to come watch the performance. Parents are permitted to follow the band to the sight-reading assessment that will take place after the stage performance is completed. No cell phones are allowed in the sight-reading room.
