What is an MPA ?

 

An MPA ( Music Performance Assessment ) is a major assessment event for secondary music programs in which a musical performance is evaluated on specified criteria.

The assessments are held annually for marching bands, concert large ensembles

(band, chorus, orchestra), and solos-ensembles.

Together with other criteria the music performance assessments may give a significant measure of the success of a music program on a campus.

Such assessments are held on a district (local area) and state levels for high school performing groups.
