Band Students Performance Evals-

Last week, the band students performed their spring concert. The following day, I had the students complete as self-evaluation on their performance that had them rate themselves 1,2,3,4 on all of the Standard 1 (Instrumental Performance) standards. I then reviewed (and modified) their self-evaluations to enter an event in Skyward for the performance for Standard 1. I also used this form as a measure of standard 6.3 (Evaluate own-performance). Most students were fairly honest with their ratings, which made for pretty easy grading.

I also had the students listen to a recording of their performance and complete an OBDA (Oregon Band Directors Association) Adjudication Worksheet, using the OBDA Rubric. This rubric is very objective, and about half of the students had scores similar to those of the judges that rated us two days before. I used this sheet as an entry in Standard 6.1 (Evaluate Recorded Performance).
