6th-grade Music performance for 5th-graders

On February 20 some 6th-grade band, choir, and orchestra members performed for the 5th-grade students at both Cottage Grove School and Nichols School. We first went to Cottage Grove School and performed in the LGI.

The orchestra performed first, and played selections from Harry Potter. Ms. McCarty talked about the 6th-grade orchestra experience.

The band perfomed next. We played Star Wars all together, and then each instrument group performed by themselves so that the 5th-grade students could hear the distinctive sounds of each instrument. Mrs. Stone encouraged 5th-grade students to choose their favorite band instruments by how they sound. Then the 5th-graders wrote their top three instrument selections on the instrument selection card. Mrs. Stone will use their choices when she goes out to talk with students individually to try mouthpieces and select instruments.

The choir performed third, and Ms. Graves talked about the 6th-grade choir experience when they were done.

After lunch we traveled down the road to Nichols School and performend for the 5th-graders in the Cafeteria.
