Rating I (Superior) ~ An outstanding performance, with very few technical errors and exemplifying a truly musical expression. This rating should be reserved for the truly outstanding performance.
Rating II (Excellent) ~ An unusual performance in many respects, but not worthy of the highest rating due to minor defects in performance, ineffective interpretation or improper instrumentation.
Edon Junior High students are under the direction of Ms. Christa Perry, Instrumental Music and Mrs. Cathy Frastaci, Vocal Music.
