Last weekend, the St. Edward High School Marching Eagles with the assistance of twenty-two Saint JosephAcademy students, who participated in the marching band, scored a Superior rating, a 1, at the OMEA State Marching Band Competition in Columbus.The Ohio Music Educators Association defines a Superior rating as “an outstanding performance with very few technical errors and exemplifying a truly musical expression.This should be reserved for the truly outstanding performance.” This is also the first time that the Ed’s band has received a 1 since 2005.
This has been an outstanding year for the marching band. In October the band also received a Superior rating at the Brunswick Sound Spectacular and the Clayment Competition on October 17, 2009. In addition, the percussion section won "Best Overall Percussion" at the Brunswick and Nordonia competitions. Congratulations to the young men from St. Edward and our SJA students. Great Job!
