The 7th grade band traveled to the BJCC in Birmingham today to see professionals at work. The orchestra performed a variety of works featuring: Sleeping Beauty; Tchaikovsky, Pizzicato Polka; Stauss, Symphony #1 (movt. 2); Shostakovich, The Unanswered Question; Charles Ives, Scheherazade; Rimsky-Korsakov and Harry Potter; John Williams. While all of the music was not recognized by the students, the skill and dedication that went into the performance was for sure. Students observed skills and techniques that they are learning and attempting to apply daily in class. What a wonderful trip this was. Congratulations students on your excellent representation of your school, your band, your parents and yourself!
