Spring Concert Selections!

The 5th grade band members will be receiving their packets of sheet music for the Spring Concert this coming week!  I have selected a wide variety of selections for this group, ranging from familiar tunes such as the 'Theme from Star Wars' and the 'Raider's March' from Indiana Jones as well as other pieces which will feature different sections of the band.  Our clarinet section will be getting a fingering workout with the piece 'Clarinets on the Run'.  'Saxophonic Boogie' will feature our alto and tenor sax sections.  The trombones will get their chance to shine in the selection entitled 'Trombonanza' while the whole low brass section/low reed section will be featured in 'Brass in the Basement'.  'Classic Bits and Pieces' will allow every section of the band to play a variety of melodies throughout the long work.  The students have been working very diligently at developing their skills and talents and I am excited to be able to do such difficult music with them.  A few of our pieces are definitely '6th grade band' level difficulty!  Keep on practicing!!
