6th Grade Band does a "Practice Concert"

November 12, 2021

 Yesterday, the 6th Grade Band did a “practice concert” to get ready for their December concert and had a special guest, Jane Triplett, join their “practice audience.” Mrs. Triplett is a Past-President of the Iowa Bandmasters Association and a retired band director who taught middle and high school band for over 30 years. She came and listened to the 6th graders play, then she got up on the podium and gave them some incredible suggestions and feedback to help them prepare even more for their performance in December. Our 6th graders did a great job! 

Keep up the great work Mr. McDonald and Class.
