Fletcher's Pianos and Organs at the Arnot Mall, hosted their annual Piano Showcase competition on Saturday, April 3, 2004.  Contestants competed before a panel of three local adjudicators.

Each participant performed two memorized pieces from the "Celebration Series® - The Piano Odyssey®"  One piece was pre-determined, and the other they personally choose from the same album.

The top 20% of the students received a trophy and medals were awarded to others for a commendable performance (above 80-85%). All students received a certificate.

STUDENTS, PLEASE NOTE:
Before going to this event, we discussed that you are judged on a scale of 1 to 5 in several categories.  It was agreed by all that a "3" would be average . . . acceptable, though not the kind of performance that would be required to place well in a competition of this nature.  Someone who scored an average of 3 in each category would receive a total score of 60%.  Sound bad?  Nope!  Remember, we call it "average . . . acceptable".  As one student put it, "Just keep me above the 50s . . . "

Be happy folks!  We did well.  :-)
