What is LGPE?
The Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) sanctions an annual band evaluation known as “Large Group Performance Evaluation” or “LGPE.” It is an event where musical ensembles perform pieces selected off of a statewide list of repertoire. Groups will perform for expert adjudicators who have been trained in listening to and evaluating large group performances. Students will then receive a rating on a scale from I. Superior through V. Poor in a number of musical categories such as tone, intonation, style, rhythmic accuracy, ensemble, and musical expression. LGPE can be compared to the Georgia Milestones of music. It is an opportunity to perform and be evaluated in a way that lets us know where we stand in terms of the standards.
