5th Grade Band Solos

Every spring, our 5th grade band members get the opportunity to play a solo.  Mr. Goheen, from the high school band, comes to each elementary campus and listens to the band members perform.  He then writes comments on the performance.  He stresses things that the students are doing well and gives them suggestions to make them even better players.  This is not a competition among the rest of the band members as the students do not receive a rating or score.  As the time grows closer, I will be sending home a schedule of the performance times.  They will be during the school day, but any parents or grandparents that would like to listen to their child perform are welcome to come in and listen.  The students will  be receiving their solo this coming week and we will work on them during part of their small group lesson.  It will not be necessary to arrange for an accompanist for your child as I will play all of those for the students.
