Every Thursday since the end of January, Madison has been going to the high school for 8th grade jazz band. The high school band director began teaching them four songs. They worked hard and their concert was scheduled for April 13th. Due to a tornado, the show was postponed. At the end of April the Spring band concert was held. It included performances by:
- 8th grade jazz band consisting of kids from two different Jr. Highs
- 8th grade symphonic bands (each Jr. High played)
- High school jazz band
- High school competitive jazz band
- High school marching band
Needless to say, it was booming in the gymnasium! The 8th grade jazz band rocked it out. It was sooooooo cool to see Madi playing her bass. She got a lot of looks being a girl playing that guitar! She rocked it!
Actually all of the bands were awesome. The 8th graders will begin practicing on May 7th as part of the High School Marching Band. Practices will take place all summer long. These kids were great to watch, can't wait until football season to see them in action!
