Wow! This has been a busy year and I am a terrible blogger. :-) I need to blog more often. Well, this time I have great material for a blog. Lakeview got a grant from the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. This foundation was founded by the composer of the music for the movie Mr. Holland's Opus, Michael Kamen.
We will be getting four clarinets, two trumpets, a brand new tenor sax, and a brand new bari sax. These instruments will be a big help to our program. I am excited that we will get to have these instruments in students' hands. To be honest, I am excited to try them out myself too. :-)
On Monday, November 17th a representative from the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation will be coming to observe the 6th grade band rehearsal and a few lessons. The sixth graders sound awesome so it will be great to show them off. There may even be members of the press on hand at our rehearsal to cover our grant award. That is exciting.
If there are any articles or air time for the band, I will be sure to post information about that either here in my blog or on the band website if I get the chance.
