|
| Speaker(s): |
Mrs. Alexis Rich

|
Rationale:
The Killingly High School Percussion Ensemble 2A and Killingly High School Percussion Ensemble 4A both performed at the Percussive Arts Society of RI’s 14th Annual Day of Percussion hosted at the University of Rhode Island on Saturday, March 8th. Fifteen percussion ensembles from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut participated in this festival. Each ensemble performed one piece of music for the audience and a panel of three professional judges rated their performances. The University of RI Percussion Ensemble then treated all of the students to a performance, which was followed by a clinic presented by Dr. Kyle Forsthoff on “Hand Drumming” Techniques.
Both Killingly High School Percussion Ensembles deserve a huge congratulation for their incredible performances at this festival. Each ensemble received a "Superior Rating" from the adjudicators, which is the highest rating in the competition! In addition, the KHS Percussion Ensemble 4A was awarded the first place, “Ronald N. Stabile – Outstanding Performance” Trophy for best ensemble performance of the day! Their piece was titled, "Storm Warning and Dance" by Steve Riley, and KHS Percussion Ensemble 2A performed “Taqsim” by Scott Meister! This is an outstanding accomplishment for our KHS percussion students. Congratulations to all! The students certainly represented the Killingly School Community with pride, class, and excellence! We are all very proud of their accomplishments!
