Lloyd Bachrach's visit

Volunteers from the 6th-grade band performed "Bugler's Dream" for Lloyd Bachrach before his presentation to the 6th-grade.



After the band was done, we quickly packed up our instruments and listened to Lloyd's story.

6th- and 7th-grade Band Concert

On Monday, March 3, the 6th- and 7th-Grade Bands had their concert at the MGHS auditorium.
The 6th-Grade Band began the concert with Bugler's Dream by Leo Arnaud, arranged by Paul Lavender. This piece is the Olympic theme song, and, true to it's name, it features the trumpet section.

Rio Bravo, written by Bruce Pearson & Barrie Gott was the second piece. It was conducted by Vicki Tam, our student teacher.


Our third song, Attack of the Slide Trombones by Mike Hannickel was a lot of fun. It featured the trombone section, and they came to the front of the stage for this piece.


The 6th-grade band concluded their half of the concert with Star Wars, by John Williams, arranged by Carl Strommen.
