It's that time of year agian.
The jazz band has been meeting at Lake Region every Wednesday night since the beginning of October to practice for the winter concert. This means driving your student to drop them off at 6 and then going back to pick them up at 7:30. Luckily, we were able to share the car pool responsibility with another Glover family. Anyway, now that the concert has taken place, we welcome a short break from this schedule (until Feb when they will begin rehearsals for the Spring concert.)
Cole's jazzy saxophone solo (starts at 1:57 )
Time to start counting down the "lasts." Cole's last Winter Concert as a Glover School student.
But also a beginning for trumpet player, Heather. As a 5th grader, she now joins the Orleans Central Supervisory Union Concert Band. Here she is with fellow trumpeter and Glover School classmate, Alyssa.
This group practices in small groups in their schools and then for one month prior to the concert, the musicians are bussed once a week, after school, to Lake Region to practice in the big group.
We felt lucky to have Joanie, Grammie and Aunt Martha (not pictured) in attendance!
Tomorrow night - Wayne's High School Concert!
Well, that was fun to listen to! Good job, Cole, on your solo. Heather, you must have enjoyed coming together with all those other schools to play in the concert.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had so many family members attend the concert!
