Music Memory Finals Are Complete!

After a massive stint of testing we have come to the conclusion of our Music Memory Finals! Each school in Austin ISD is allowed to select 2 teams of students to represent their campus at the annual AISD Music Memory Competition, one team for 3rd/4th grade and one for 5th/6th grade. Each team can consist of 6 students from the appropriate grade levels.

For the past 6 schools days we have tested each of our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to find our team for the 2007-2008 competition and our search is finally over. The 12 students selected were informed of their success this afternoon (4-18-2008) and will begin team preparations after the TAKS test that is coming up.

Congratulations to all of the students who qualified for the “Hubba Hubba Hard” Test. You are all winners! I wish we could take everyone to the district competition. Here are the 6 top scores that were selected to the teams.
