17 MMS students' artworks were entered into the Milwaukee Regional Art Fair (MRAF) preliminary judging rounds. Our students once again surpassed all expectations! Out of dozens of schools participating and hundreds of artworks submitted, 7 of the 30 exhibition spots for the middle school category were filled with MMS student artwork! The artworks will be displayed in the final show starting Saturday, May 19th at the Oconomowoc Arts Center. Competing students will attend the gallery reception on this day and find out if any further awards will be given for their fine achievements.
In January 2012, the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin requested that several MMS student self-portraits become part of their permanent collection. The hospital was extremely impressed with the caliber of talent from our students and the expressive techniques used by our students to create their self-portraits. The self-portraits will be displayed in the entrance and hallways of the Emergency Room to brighten up the lives of visiting children, families, and hospital staff.

Federation Festival
Students participating in WFMC’s Federation festival receive a rating sheet with a judge’s critique of their performance and a certificate of participation, indicating the event they participated in (e.g. flute solo, piano duet, theory/musicianship, etc.) the location and date of the festival they participated in, and the rating they received from their judge. Each rating is worth a certain number of Gold Cup points. The five ratings judges may give are as follows:
Superior Rating (5 Gold Cup Points)
An outstanding performance which is consistently musical, stylistically correct, and accurate. Attention is given to dynamics, phrasing and musical expression. Memorization is secure with rapid recovery from minor slips. Errors do not detract from the participant’s interpretation. A complete performance.
Excellent Rating (4 Gold Cup Points)
A strong performance that is musical and stylistically correct. The performance shows accomplishment and very good potential, but there are discrepancies in rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and/or interpretation. Hesitation and/or memory slips detract from the participant’s presentation. A promising performance.
