[blindkid] Music Sight Reading for Competition

[Debby B]

Sally, when the entire band is sight reading, Winona has been exempt and the 
band not penalized for her not doing so. For All-State competition last year 
they had her play various things in addition to the scales and prepared music. 
THEY were not prepared for her (even though we told them a year ago). It was 
okay, because we still hadn't gotten any training on Braille music. Our band 
director has a meeting this weekend, and then we should know how they will 
handle it this year.

Last year she was the only student from our district to make the All-State honor 
band.

Would someone care to share their blind kid's experience with state band 
competitions that involved sight reading?  How did the student prepare for the 
competition and how did the competition organizers handle having a blind student 
in the competition?  


Thanks.
