Middle School Band This past weekend I went home to visit my parents. They live about twenty miles away from Chicago in Northwest Indiana. Well it turns out that when I went home Friday night my old middle school was having their winter concert. I arrived to the gym around 7:00p.m., and sat down on a hard bleacher and then it began. Since the concert was held in the gymnasium the echoes were unbelievable. …showed first 75 words of 316 total…

…showed last 75 words of 316 total…make it out of the jumble of noise coming from the gymnasium that night. The sixth grade band did reasonably well and the parents seemed pleased. Finally the jumble of noise quit as the conductor cut off the final beat. Unfortunately there was not a program given out because well it was only the sixth grade band. In all actuality the band for being beginners was actually quite well despite all of the problems mentioned.
