Rich Labedz and the 6th Graders are in great deliberations on the naming of the group. I am sworn to secrecy, but the list is down to the final two. We're all hopeful for an unveiling by next week.
The 6th Grade Jazz Band has been really investigating the blues for the past 3 weeks. The blues is known as America's Music, because of it's Democratic "call and response," it's freedom to express yourself as well as it's unified and collective feel of "swing." The students now have their first piece - C-Jam Blues - and some fine soloists came up to the plate at yesterday's rehearsal. I get more and more pumped up to hear the premiere of this group!
Have a wonderful Halloween!
Mr. D
