I got to spend the weekend filling in for the PWHS Band at the Colorado State University - Pueblo Festival of Winds Honor Band. My only issue was reminding myself that I am the teacher and not one of them!! I am always amazed that you can work through 5 pieces of music in two days and have them performance ready. The highlight of this festival (in addition of course to the final concert) were the 5 concerts for the students to relax and enjoy. I enjoyed having the chance to enjoy everything from a full brass band to an electric bassoon!!
I am soooooo excited about the music staff in my hallway at school. The caption is "Each of us a single note, together we create a masterpiece at DSE!" Each note has a student's name and each color is a different class. I am thinking I will leave it up the whole year as a teaching tool, but we will see how that goes.
