Middle School Band Earns Top Rating in Regional Competition

April 28, 2007; Campbell California—The Rolling Hills Middle School Advanced Band gave an outstanding performance at the California Association for Music Education Music Festival in Gilroy on April 28th. In fact, the performance earned the group a rare “Unanimous Superior” rating from the judges. Rolling Hills Middle School is located at 1585 More Ave., Los Gatos.

The Rolling Hills’ group performed two musical selections in concert and sight-read a new piece of music very well, said Band Instructor Mike Rawlinson.

“This group of kids has worked very hard all year long, and their successful scores were quite a nice reward. They gave it their best and really impressed the judges.”

A Unanimous Superior is the highest ranking a group can achieve because it means the scores from every single one of the four judges added up to a Superior rating even after scores are averaged together. “The fact that our Superior rating was unanimous is quite an honor!”
