The 7th- and 8th-Grade Bands performed their first concert of the year in the high school auditorium. This was the first performance of the year for the 7th-grade band, and the second for the 8th-graders. Both bands played well! (And we even managed to finish the concert in plenty of time for everyone to get home and tune in for most of the Packers/Cowboys game.)
The 7th-Grade Band played the following songs:
Nottingham Castle by Larry Daehn
Stillmeadow Overture by Dennis O. Eveland
and
Little Rock by James D. Ployhar
In a quick informal survey during class the day after the concert, the 7th-graders said the songs that they enjoyed most were Stillmeadow Overture and Little Rock.
The 8th-Grade Band played:
Gopak by Modest Mussorgsky, arranged by Andrew Balent
The Monument March by David W. Moore
and
Psalm by William Himes
The 8th-graders liked Psalm best and discussed possibly including it on the CD that they will record at the end of the school year.
