In spite of the changes in the schedules this week due to testing, the 5th grade band members have really risen to the challenge of working on the finishing touches on their music for our Spring Concert! I am very pleased with the progress of the students as our days together wind down. We are to the last six rehearsals before our performance on Friday, May 6, at 7:00pm at the Performing Arts Center! I would like all of the band students to be in the high school band room by 6:45 that evening and I ask that they 'dress up' for our final performance of the season. We are preparing a wide variety of repertoire for our concert, ranging from familiar melodies such as 'Rondeau' (Theme from Masterpiece Theatre) and 'Joyful Rock' (based on Beethoven's Ode to Joy) to descriptive pieces such as 'Creatures in the Attic', 'Attack of the Garden Gnomes' and 'A Prehistoric Suite'. We will also be performing a selection entitled 'Slideways' which features our trombone section and the ever-popular 'Star Wars'.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns regarding our concert performance!
Until next week.....
Mr. Hubers
