This is a pretty typical small school band concert and it is fun to watch and listen to the progression of talent through the grades. This is the first time we get to hear the 5th graders (who've been playing for all of four months).
I was definitely impressed with the younger talent this year. There are some very strong young musicians coming up at this little school. In particular two percussionists (one 5th grade, one 6th grade) clearly have a great deal of skill.
A delightful evening.
