Fort Pierce Central Bands Nab Superior Ratings at District Assessment

Both bands at Fort Pierce Central High School earned Superior ratings — the highest honor available — at the Florida Bandmasters Association District 13 Concert Band Music Performance Assessment on March 6.

The achievement affected every student in the school's Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band programs. Superior is the top rating a band can receive at the FBA's Music Performance Assessment, known as MPA.

Director of Bands Stephen Gabin led both ensembles to the top marks, which the school recognized as part of Music in Our Schools Month.

Fort Pierce Central credited the results to extensive rehearsal and preparation by student performers, along with support from band staff and families. The school called the ratings a continuation of "the school's proud tradition of musical excellence."
