The 6th-grade band, choir, and orchestra concert was on May 29. The 6th-grade band played first, and did 4 songs.
We started with "Court Festival" a piece written by William Byrd during the Renaissance and arranged for band by Bruce Pearson. Next we played "Bach N' Roll" a piece that gave a rock beat to one of J.S. Bach's songs "Menuet" from Anna Magdalena's Notebook.
Here, Ms. Tam (our student teacher) is conducting the piece "All Ye Young Sailors" by Pierre La Plante, a Wisconsin composer. This piece was the band's first experience with a new time signature, 6/8 time.
We ended our portion of the concert with the band's favorite: "Let's Go Band!"
The 6th-grade orchestra played several pieces. This one was accompanied by a slide show of photos that they had taken.
The 6th-grade choir closed the concert.
