• Sight Reading Judge Script- There have been many issues in sight reading across the state this

year and many previous years that deal with judges saying and doing things in Sight Reading that is not in adherence to our procedures and bylaws. This has been especially prevelant in “out of state” adjudicators. Examples of issues from this year were that some bands in one district were not allowed to play a warm-up scale before the Sight Reading performance. In another district the judge had bands use the prep time to find the music in the folder rather than having it pulled before hand. There have been questions about when the timpanist gets to tune. There are many other small issues of this nature that keep happening across the state in the Sight Reading portion of MPA. The committee feels that having a “Sight Reading Script” would elminate a lot of these issues, get everyone on the same page and allow all bands to get the same information presented in the same way. It would also allow directors to practice the exact procedure with students beforehand. Matt Edwards volunteered at the Honors Band meeting to put this on paper using the Central District’s procedures as a model. He presented a completed “script” at the summer meeting and it was approved by the committee. It was agreed this should be added to the Adjudicator’s Manual and would NOT be a bylaw change. See the attached script:

Timeline for approval

• Districts give input- Fall 2015 • MPA Committee takes input and makes adjustments. If input from the districts is

positive the committee recommend to the board for approval on Saturday, November 7th. If it is not positive it will be tabled until the Honors Band Committee meeting.

! “Standards for Ratings” / Stage Adjudication and Sight Reading Rubric - Buried within the MPA Adjudicator Manual is a document entitled “Standards for Ratings.” The instruction is as follows: “A copy of these standards should be with each judge during the adjudication.” This has not been happening. An additional concern is that adjudicators are not using the back of the sheet (the rubric) because it is literally on the back of the sheet and is not visable as you are writing on the sheet. After discussion the committee agreed that adjucators should be following the procedure we have laid out in the manual and that these documents should be “with each judge during adjudication”. We will be providing each district with a placemat of these documents that should be used during adjudication. These documents should be given to members in Fall Meetings as a reminder as most people are not aware they even exist. Please review the

NORTH CAROLINA BANDMASTERS ASSOCIATION Concert Band MPA Committee Minutes

Monday-Tuesday, June 15-16- Separk Music, Winston Salem


“Standards for Ratings” for both Sight Reading and Stage performance and be reminded that this is not a new document. It has been around for years but has not been widely circulated or shared. It is the MPA Committee’s desire to make sure members and adjudicators alike are aware of the existance of these standards and use them in their preparation for and evaluation of MPA performances.

! MPA Triplicate Form Adjudication Sheets will no longer be used- The committee decided to

no longer use triplicate forms for MPA sheets because they are not being used for their original intent and it is a big expense that can be cut. Completed judging sheets can either be scanned in PDF, copied or not reproduced at all at the end of each event. This will be decided by the MPA Event Chairs and the State MPA Chair at the meeting they will have in November. It was agreed that chairs should be keeping the final ratings of each judge in a spreadsheet that will be turned into the State MPA Chair if we are no longer going to be sending the triplicate to the MPA Chair. It’s important to remember that we’ve only been using triplicates for a few years and we have not used or examined them once since we decided to start sending them in.

• The MPA Committee will list additions, deletions and moves on the MPA List- In an effort to

help directors notice changes to the list, it was agreed that we need to list pieces that are moved or removed from the list in some way. Discussion was had about whether to create a separate list each year of the pieces removed, added or moved. Using strikethrough on the existing MPA list was discussed in reference to pieces that are removed. Discussion was had about the fact you have to go look at the list to see a strikethrough and the fact people aren’t checking the list to start with is the problem. It was agreed in the end to make indications on the current list (strikethough) and to create a separate sheet that lists all of the changes for a particular year and to post it on the site. This is currently up to date on the state website.

o New Pieces will be listed in red for one year o Pieces that are moved or removed will be on the current list with strikethrough. For

example: Give Us This Day by David Maslanka was moved from MW to VI and is listed as a new piece on the VI list and listed as Give Us This Day by David Maslanka (removed 2015) on the Masterwork list.

o A list of all additions and deletions or moves will be listed on the site for a year after changed are made.

• Splits- Listing splits in programs and schedules versus report form. Discussion was had on

how most districts are still listing “III/IV”, “V/VI” in programs, schedules, etc. despite the fact that the committee recommended not to do this 2 years ago. One district even placed bands in playing a “split” at a separate time in the schedule. Some programs list each piece the band is playing and what grade level it is, some programs just list bands and grade level they are entering, etc. etc. It was decided that districts should and can list bands in their programs and schedules however they like as long as the rating report to the state is uniform. We’re not going to micromanage programs and schedules in that way. However, members should be reminded that if you enter MPA in Grade I, II, III, IV, V, VI and MW that is the level you are in. Bands do not enter in III/IV and if you are a Grade III Band that happens to play a Grade IV you are still going to be reported to the state at a Grade III Band.

o Reminder of bylaw: C. Each band must prepare a march of the director’s choice and two (2) compositions from the Official North Carolina Bandmasters Association Music List. One composition must be from the classification as registered, the other composition may be from the same classification or from the next higher classification.

• MPA Attendance for 9th Grade Bands- A concern was brought to the committee for discussion

that some 9th grade bands in the state are attending MS MPAs and that this should not happen per our bylaws. The committee discussed that this was not something that should be micromanaged and that MPA Events are different in each district. The bylaws do not refer to MS or HS MPA as separate divided events- but refer to them generically as MPA events. There are districts that have MPA combined with MS/HS and some that do variations on that and some that are totally separate. 3 districts are totally separate and 3 districts are combined or do varations on a combined MPA. The committee reccomends that this should be left to the districts to decide and the bylaw that was written that refers to 9th Grade Band / Junior High’s is antiquated and needs to be removed. If districts that separate their MPA between Middle School and High School want to have specific rules concerning this they need to create this for their district and not try to legislate it for the entire state. Proposal to the board for a change:


REMOVE: “3A. Ninth Grade Bands should go to the festival where the Ninth Grade Band is housed. (If the Ninth Grade is housed at a middle school then the band should go to the middle school festival of their district.” – Committee suggest removing ALL of the bylaw. REMOVE 4A. Senior High and Junior High Bands will register in their designated districts. (remove the senior and junior high school language)

This rule was written at a time when Middle Schools (6-8) and Junior High’s (7-9) existed at the same time. As of 2014 no Junior High School’s are left in the state of NC. This rule was intended for a problem that no longer exist and should not be used to prohibit the Western, Northwest and Southeastern district from having combined/ hybrid MPA events. Furthermore, MPA events are not referred to at MS MPA or HS MPA in our bylaws except in this one location and in all other places it is simply referred to at District MPA.

Timeline • Present at Fall Meetings for feedback • Make Revisions as needed in MPA Meeting on November 7th, 2015 • Present to state board for approval November 7th, 2015 • Vote in General Meeting on November 8th, 2015

• MPA Adjudicators have been evaluating bands which they have previously done a clinic in the same semester. The Jazz Section and Marching Committee have created rules prohibiting this and the MPA Committee was asked to examine the issue. After discussion the committee created the following statement to be added to the judge manual:

! MPA judges are prohibited from guest conducting, rehearsing, and evaluating

a group in the same semester that they will judge at their MPA event. Please contact your MPA event chair if you are aware of any conflicts.

MPA event chairs should be aware of this and make the adjudicators they hire aware of this rule.

• Reporting Full Ratings to MPA Chair, Committee, Membership- Discussion was had that we

have not previously been having the ratings from each state judge or sight reading be reported to the State MPA Chair and that the information is not collected or published. Some districts collect this and send it out to the membership and some do not. It was discussed and decided that this should be kept at the district level and reported to the state MPA Chair beginning in 2016. The committee also agreed that it should be reported on the state website along with the final ratings but that it should not be done this year or in haste. The committee felt that we should get input from members before doing this and approval from the state board.

• Approved Judge List / List of who has judged- There has been individual discussion for years for the need of a state judging list or a list of who judges each MPA each year. The committee felt like that an approved judge list, training, etc. was probably too much at this time and may not be something that would automatically lead to better judges. There was discussion that we may end up with a list of judges who had gone through the training rather than a list of the most qualified judges if we went down that path. Instead, sponsoring a future training at convention on how to prepare and evaluate Concert Bands for MPA Performance might be more useful. In addition, rather than having an approved list the committee felt listing the people who judge each year as well as the ratings they give on the state site may give MPA event chairs additional resources for seeing who is being selected in each district. Calling other MPA Event Chairs before hiring someone who has judged is probably the best informal evaluation that can happen before selection.


• A suggestion was made by WC Lanning that the committee move “Rhythm” back into “Technique” on MPA Sheet and use the extra caption to take “Interpretation” out of “Music Effect” and give it its own category again. This effectively weights Musicality/Musicianship over Technique and takes us back to the original MENC “Contest” sheet that was used for many years prior to the last revision. After much discussion the committee reccomends the following captions for the MPA Sheet

Old MENC Sheet 2012 Revision 2015 Proposal Tone Tone Quality Tone Quality Intonation Intonation Intonation Balance Technique Balance Technique Rhythm Precision Music Effect Balance Musicianship Interpretation Musicianship Interpreation Other Factors General Factors General Factors

The committee also revised the rubric and Matt Edwards agreed to put all of these revisions into the files and organize a draft for approval. THANKS TO MATT for his work on this! See the attached sheets.

Timeline for approval

o Districts give input- Fall 2015 o MPA Committee takes input and makes adjustments. If input from the

districts is positive the committee will refine a reccomendation to send to the board on Saturday, November 7th for approval. If it is not positive it will be tabled until the summer 2016 meeting.

o This is NOT a bylaw change. Changes to the MPA Sheet in the past and changes to the marching band sheets have not always been approved by the state board but the committee feels a change like this should be approved by not only the MPA Committee but by each district through the vote of their district chair.

• March Issue- We had an issue come up in regards to bands not performing marches. How do

we define a march? Do we need a list of marches? Do we need to reiterate that the march is judged? After discussion the committee felt no list was needed. It was agreed that if there is a question the President-Elect/ State MPA Chair will decide and disqualify when these issues arise as set forth in our bylaws. The committee feels that the membership should be infomred that if you don’t play a march you will be disqualified, and that no further action is needed if we stick to enforicing that rule. Mr. Workman would like to reiterate to districts that Marches are required to be played in our bylaws and that there will be no exceptions. Reminder of bylaws:

o 6C. Each band must prepare a march of the director’s choice and two (2) compositions from the

Official North Carolina Bandmasters Association Music List. o 9. DISQUALIFICATION A. Violation of any of the above rules constitutes an automatic

disqualification. o 2E. The State Concert Band MPA Chairperson will be the President-Elect of the North Carolina

Bandmasters Association. His responsibility shall be to direct and assist the District Concert Band MPA Chairperson and will have the authority to govern all concert band MPA activity in the state.

• Copied Scores / Publisher Letter Issues. Should bands be allowed to call the publisher for a

letter with permission to use copied scores if they arrive with no original scores? This was done in at least 2 districts this year and it has been questioned.

Bylaw Reminder:

o “All bands are required to furnish three conductor’s scores of each composition prepared for concert band MPA and present them to the concert band MPA chairperson upon arrival. Only published scores will be permitted unless permission is obtained from the publisher. All scores presented to the chairperson must be numbered by measure.”


o I. If a director submits a letter and uses copied scores then the director has a binding contract with the music dealer. A letter stating such will be sent to the principal and director.

After discussion the committee feels that as long as we are maintaining the integrity of copyright laws that directors should be allowed to call and get a letter if they show up without scores. The band should not play or be evaluated until this is received, however. We cannot monitor or distinguish between those who just leave a letter or scores at home the morning of the event and those who wait until the last minute or are just irresponsible. We must adhere to copyright laws strictly in light of the fact that certain states are being monitored and that we are likely next. The bylaws concerning this are vague but do allow for a letter to be used and there is no desire to change that at this time.

• Deadling for Out of District Request- A Deadline for requesting to go out of district was proposed

during the State Board Meeting. Discussion was had in the MPA Committee meeting and between the board and the MPA Committee Feb. 1 is the recommended deadline.

• Suggested Bylaw Change:

A. Senior High and Junior High Bands will register in their designated districts. B. Exception to Rule 4-A: Bands may cross district lines upon receiving written release from their district concert mpa chairperson and written permission from the district concert band mpa chairperson where they wish to enter. Written release must be obtained by February 1st. If problems occur, the director should contact the state concert band MPA chairperson, who shall intervene and make a final decision.

Timeline • Present at Fall Meetings for feedback • Make Revisions as needed in MPA Meeting on November 7th, 2015 • Present to state board for approval November 7th, 2015 • Vote in General Meeting on November 8th, 2015

• Solo/Ensemble MPA Sheet Revision- It was discovered this Spring that almost all districts are

using Solo and Ensemble MPA Sheets that are different. Brent Harris, Ruth Peterson and Adam Joiner were invited to form a sub committee on Tuesday and revise the sheets to make them cosmetically look like our existing Concert Band MPA Sheets and to standardize what is already being used across the state. Their sheets are submitted for review by districts this fall and are attached. Please review and give feedback to your MPA Committee Representitive.

• Scheduling of MPA Performances- There have been issues with the scheduling of bands in a

district and it has been requested by individual members that we discuss current scheduling practices across the state. The specific issue is that some bands are scheduled strictly by “grade level” and that specific scheduling needs such as morning or afternoon are not possible if you play a certain grade level of music. (Example: A grade 1 band is always restricted to a a very early morning time regardless of their location or distance from the event and Grade IV MS band is always restricted to an evening performance.) Discussion was had and each district reported on their scheduling practices. The consensus was that districts mostly schedule their MPA event based on the needs and request of bands. Most districts are sticking to keeping similar grade levels of bands grouped together but are allowing it to restart or change after breaks or lunch.


Central District MS didn’t really seem to use the Grade Level as a factor in scheduling at all as a result of difficult busing and scheduling they perform in whatever place is best for the bands. The MPA Committee has no specific recommendation for scheduling and the membership felt like having scheduling rules was absolutely not necessary as each district has its own sets of issues and needs. However, the committee noted that there is no rule on scheduling of bands that would limit you to scheduling them a certain way and that discussion on this needs to happen at the district level to solve these issues. It is encouraged that district MPA Event Chairs use common sense and stay student focused in their scheduling practices. This will be discussed further in the November meeting with MPA Event Chairs.

! Fall Meeting Date

The committee has set Saturday, November 7, 2015 from 1-5PM as our Fall meeting date at NCMEA Convention.

Meeting Adjourned at 3:30PM Rodney K. Workman, MPA Committee Chair

NCBA MPA - Sight-Reading Judge Script Approved by the MPA Committee June 15, 2015

These directions are designed to serve three goals: 1) To provide a consistent experience for all participating directors and students. 2) To avoid the appearance of familiarity or bias towards a particular school, director or students. 3) To maintain the schedule of the event. Before starting this script, have a list in your hands of the required instruments for percussion and part assignments for winds (clarinet 1 and 2, trumpet 1 and 2, etc.). The percussion list should also include the starting pitches for each drum for each grade level. Remember that the band will sight-read one UIL grade level below their stage grade level. For example, if the band played grade 4 on stage, they should sight-read UIL grade 3. As students enter, remain seated or standing at your table. Avoid verbal interaction with students in the sight-reading group at this time. A pleasant smile is appropriate and would likely be welcomed by nervous students and directors. You may give a polite “Good morning/afternoon/evening” to the participating director as he or she enters and approaches the podium. It is appropriate at this time to answer direct questions from the director regarding sight-reading rules. Otherwise avoid conversation with the director. Once students are settled and folders have been placed on stands by the host staff, go to the podium. Say the following: “Good morning/afternoon/evening, my name is ___________________ and I’ll be your sight-reading judge. Please put your personal folders under your seat. Only the sight-reading folder should be on your music stand. Be sure that you have a folder that corresponds with your part assignment, such as 1st trumpet or 2nd trumpet. In this piece of music, the parts are organized as follows…” < Review instruments with multiple parts, such as clarinet 1 and clarinet 2, from the score or listing provided by the site host. In the event the director has not assigned parts prior to this point, allow time for the director to organize parts. > Percussion, you will need the following instruments: ______________________ (read from list provided by site host). The timpanist should tune the drums to _________________ (read from list provided by site host). Timpanist, you may go ahead and tune your drums to those pitches. Do you have everything you need?” < Pause for percussion to respond > “Does anyone need an additional folder or music stand?” < Pause to direct host staff to address problems >

“Today I’ll be adjudicating your ability to read a piece of music after a brief review session. Please open your folder and find the piece of music called _______________________ . Take it out of the folder, then close your folder. Check that you have the correct part. After you’ve done that, turn the music face-down. Does anyone have an incorrect part or could not find the piece in their folder?” < Scan the room for raised hands. Pause to address problems as needed > “Please open your folder, put the piece in front of the other pieces, then close your folder.” < Pause while they follow the instruction > “You will have a total of ____________ minutes to preview your piece. During this time, you may not play your instrument. You may clap rhythms, sing parts, count out loud or finger your instruments. Percussion may touch keyboard percussion with their fingers, but not with mallets. Other percussionists may tap rhythms with sticks on your leg, but you must not hit instruments with any kind of implement. You may also ask your director or your fellow students questions. Your director may ask you to play a brief warm-up scale at the conclusion of the preparation period at his or her discretion. Your director may call out rehearsal letters or number and verbal cues like “more trumpets” or “tubas watch” but he or she may not sing parts or rhythms while you are playing. Are there any questions?” < Pause… > “Please open your folder and pull out _________________ (title of piece). Your time begins now.” < Go to your seat and begin timing and adjudication. Proceed once the performance is completed and you have finished your commentary… > “Thank you for your performance. Please put your part back in the sight-reading folder.” < Allow time for group to follow instructions > “Leave the sight-reading folder on the stand. Be sure to gather your folders, mutes or other equipment. Congratulations on your performance today. You should exit the room to your left / right. Have a good morning/afternoon/evening.” < Return to table to finish recorded commentary / written comments and caption / final ratings >

Revision history:

Draft: June 2015 - Matt Edwards, Melody Causby

Standards for Stage Ratings of MPA Performances A copy of these standards should be with each judge during the adjudication.

Superior: "I" The rating is comparable to the grade of “A”. This rating reflects an outstanding performance for the event and experience level of participants being evaluated. The performance of all selections demonstrates that the group is able to meet all of the technical demands of the music with a thorough awareness of the composer’s intent. Bands that receive this rating should perform beyond the basic performance of notes and rhythms, and into the area of artistic expression. While the adjudicator may find some minor points to critique and may make suggestions for improvement, his comments sheet would show a majority of A’s. for the various captions and his remarks would be generally complimentary for outstanding work. Excellent: "II" The rating is comparable to the grade of “B”. This rating reflects a high level of performance for the event and experience level of participants being evaluated. The performance demonstrates that the group is able to meet nearly all of the technical demands of the music and may reflect a broad awareness of the composer’s intent. Bands that receive this rating perform frequently, but not consistently, with the same technical proficiency as a band that received a rating of "Superior", but they lack the finesse and style associated with artistic expression. The performance shows the result of sound fundamental training, but lacks the polish and finesse to qualify for a rating of superior. The adjudicator may find consistent areas to critique, but these areas do not significantly distract from the overall quality of the performance. His/her caption ratings would consist of mostly B’s while his/her remarks would be indicative of a quality performance. Average: "III" The rating is comparable to the grade of “C”. This rating reflects a mediocre level of performance for the event and experience level of participants being evaluated. The performance demonstrates that the group is able to meet some of the technical demands of the music, but reflects an absence of awareness for the composer’s intent. The performance reflects consistent limitations in fundamental training and lacks the polish and finesse to qualify for a rating of excellent. The adjudicator will find consistent areas to critique and these areas will significantly distract from the overall quality of the performance. His/her comments sheet would consist of mostly C’s. Below Average: "IV" The rating is comparable to the grade of “D”. This rating reflects a level of performance that is consistently weak and filled with technical errors and intonation problems. The performance reflects inconsistent and limited demonstration of music performance fundamentals. The adjudicator will find many areas to critique that significantly distract from the overall quality of the performance. His/her comments sheet would consist of mostly D’s. These may reflect handicaps in the way of instrumentation or lack of rehearsal time. This classification represents a performance which is generally weak and uncertain. Comments should be encouraging and contain helpful suggestions for improvement. The adjudicator might suggest such things as a more favorable schedule to allow more regular rehearsals, more effective individual practice and/or ensemble rehearsals, or more careful screening of players. The adjudicator might even make specific recommendations for ensemble or individual studies and exercises which would contribute to the development of the individual players. Poor: "V" The rating is comparable to the grade of “F”. The performance is unacceptable both technically and musically. It demonstrates a lack of technical proficiency and musical understanding. Careless and bad playing habits are prevalent, providing significant and ongoing evidence of poor preparation and training. The group and director should concentrate on fundamentals and/or perform less difficult music. This rating indicates a performance which reveals much room for improvement. The director should check his methods, instrumentation, etc. with those of more successful organizations. This rating is rarely used by even the most critical adjudicators. In some cases the teaching methods of the director may be in question. If there are any commendable features in the performance they may be singled out. Perhaps there is one outstanding player in the group. He could be held up as a model. Sometimes only the stage deportment and appearance can be commented on favorably but even this may be some comfort. Remarks should be honest, but never sarcastic. They should point out the basic weaknesses and make suggestions for improvement, and above all, urge the participants and director to work toward qualifying for a higher rating next year. Note: Adjudicators should make every effort to employ all the rating categories when appropriate. The ratings should be interpreted literally by the titles: Superior, Excellent, Average, Below Average, and Poor. Success is not measured only by a superior rating. The other ratings have credibility and should be used in a positive and constructive way

Standards for MPA Sight-Reading Ratings

A copy of these standards should be with each judge during the adjudication.

The sight reading adjudicator should justify his/her rating through written and/or recorded comments. The adjudicator should take great care to assure that the comments on the adjudication form and on the audio recording are consistent with the overall and caption ratings for that particular band and should call attention to fundamental characteristics of the group. The presence or lack of good tone quality, intonation, rhythmic precision, blend and balance, offer a basis for making brief suggestions for improvement of the group. The sight reading adjudicator should keep in mind and take into consideration that their evaluation is on a “first reading” and may not reflect the finesse and musical expressiveness associated with a stage performance. Superior: "I" The rating is comparable to the grade of “A”. This rating reflects a high level of performance for the event and experience level of participants being evaluated. The performance demonstrates that the group is able to meet all or nearly all of the technical demands of the music and may reflect a broad awareness of the composer’s intent. Bands that receive this rating perform frequently, if not consistently, with technical proficiency, but they may lack some finesse and style associated with artistic expression. The performance shows the result of sound fundamental training, but may lack some of the polish and finesse. The adjudicator may find some areas to critique, but these areas do not significantly distract from the overall quality of the performance. His/her caption ratings would consist of mostly A’s while his/her remarks would be indicative of a quality performance. Excellent: "II" The rating is comparable to the grade of “B”. This rating reflects a high level of performance for the event and experience level of participants being evaluated. The performance demonstrates that the group is able to meet most of the technical demands of the music and may at times reflect a broad awareness of the composer’s intent. The performance reflects few, if any, limitations in fundamental issues but may lack the polish and finesse to qualify for a rating of superior. The adjudicator may occasionally find areas to critique; these areas may distract from the overall quality of the performance. His/her caption ratings would consist of mostly B’s while his/her remarks would be indicative of a quality performance. 15 Average: "III" The rating is comparable to the grade of “C”. This rating reflects a mediocre level of performance for the event and experience level of participants being evaluated. The performance demonstrates that the group is able to meet some of the technical demands of the music, but reflects an absence of awareness for the composer’s intent. The performance reflects consistent limitations in fundamental training and lacks the polish and finesse to qualify for a rating of excellent. The adjudicator will find consistent areas to critique and these areas will significantly distract from the overall quality of the performance. His/her comments sheet would consist of mostly C’s. Below Average: "IV" The rating is comparable to the grade of “D”. This rating reflects a level of performance that is consistently weak and filled with technical errors and intonation problems. The performance very rarely reflects performance fundamentals. The adjudicator will find many areas to critique that significantly distract from the overall quality of the performance. This classification represents a performance that is generally weak and uncertain. Comments should be encouraging and contain helpful suggestions for improvement. His/her comments sheet would consist of mostly D’s. Poor: "V" The rating is comparable to the grade of “F”. The performance is unacceptable both technically and musically. It demonstrates a lack of technical proficiency and musical understanding. Careless and bad playing habits are prevalent, providing significant and ongoing evidence of poor preparation and training. This rating indicates a performance that reveals much room for improvement. Remarks should be honest, but never sarcastic. They should point out the basic weaknesses and make suggestions for improvement, and above all, urge the participants and director to work toward qualifying for a higher rating next year. His/her comments sheet would consist of mostly F’s. Note: Adjudicators should make every effort to employ all the rating categories when appropriate. The ratings should be interpreted literally by the titles: Superior, Excellent, Average, Below Average, and Poor. Success is not measured only by a superior rating. The other ratings have credibility and should be used in a positive and constructive way.
