Kirstyn 1st Band Concert

Kirstyn-1st-Band-2Tonight Kirstyn had her very first band concert!  It was held over at Waubonsie Valley High School in the auditorium and her school was combined with 4 other elementary schools in the district.  It was great to hear them play for the first time together.  They showed examples of what was good and what was bad which was very funny for us and fun for them to show.  They then played 6 or so songs, splitting up the different parts so we could hear what the melody, harmony, baseline, etc. sounded like, and then they played altogether.  It’s amazing to hear what these kids have done in 4 short months!  We are very lucky to be in a district that has one of the best music programs in the nation.  They really emphasize excellence and hard work.  All three girls have great band and orchestra teachers that are very committed to the students and that makes us very happy!

Great job, Kirstyn!  Keep up the wonderful work!
