CAPTION: Archbishop Curley Notre Dame High School saxophone player, Norbert Seals, performs at half time after receiving an “excellent” rating by the Florida Bandmasters Association.

The Archbishop Curley Notre Dame (ACND) Band, the Troubadours, recently received outstanding evaluations from the Florida Bandmasters Association (FBA) for their solo performances.

Ranked at an experience level of “Superior” were Lauren D’Ovidio, Andrea Hurtak, Pedro Porro, and Samantha Sklaroff. Jesus Cabana, Jessica Delgado, Ada Genao and Norbert Seals rated “Excellent” while Arrenald Glenn was ranked “Good”.

Evaluations were held on Saturday, November 4 by FBA appointed judges. The adjudicators are usually university professors who are highly specialized in a particular instrument. The assessments are done to help strengthen the performer’s skill and confidence through solo performance.

The ACND Troubadours will be featured in the Christmas Holiday Concert on Thursday, December 21. at 7:30 p.m. in the ACND Cafetorium. The event is open to the public and a donation of $5 will be collected at the door.
