This is an event where students can perform a piece for a judge, get feedback from that judge, and earn a medal for participating. All students earn at least a bronze medal (III), but can earn silver (II) or gold (I) for performances that meet the judging criteria. This was Kayla&#8217;s 5th and final year participating. She has 4 gold medals from her previous events, and so hoped to close out her run with a 5th gold. She had a song called &#8220;Donkey Ride&#8221;, which had 16th note runs and grace notes scattered. She had a little bobble, but all around it sounded good!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mt8qpBMSmJI\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And her result&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/kayla.solo_.result.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-809\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/kayla.solo_.result.jpg\" alt=\"kayla.solo.result\" width=\"408\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/kayla.solo_.result.jpg 408w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/kayla.solo_.result-300x18.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yep, that&#8217;s a 5th gold medal for Kayla!<\/p>\n<p>While this was Kayla&#8217;s final event, it was also Ashley&#8217;s first event. She was the only 5th grade pianist performing, mostly because middle schools around here are usually 6th-8th not 5th-8th like Big Hollow. That and many 5th graders have not been playing long enough to want to face a judge! Ashley did not want anyone in the room with her, so I have video of her playing the song here at home. The judge have her a short mini-lesson with feedback. She played a version of &#8220;Swan Lake&#8221;. (And at the end you will know that Kevin tested into Gryffindor!).<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1VuDmrIyS_Q\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And her result&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ashley.solo_.result.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-808\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ashley.solo_.result.jpg\" alt=\"ashley.solo.result\" width=\"385\" height=\"22\" srcset=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ashley.solo_.result.jpg 385w, http:\/\/projectbat.com\/thegirls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/ashley.solo_.result-300x17.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also a gold medal for Ashley!
