5th-Grade Elementary Band at Skyview Middle School
The Beginning Band at Skyview Middle School presented its first concert on Thursday morning, 14 December, at about 8 a.m. About 100 parents, relatives and friends attended. The 68-member band is comprised of 5th graders from Crystal Springs, Canyon Creek, and Fernwood Elementary Schools in the Northshore School District. They played Christmas songs, including “Jingle Bells,” and several others, sometimes as full band and sometimes as individual sections.
Ben Fowler teaches flutes, Matt Simmons teaches woodwinds, and Jane Lin teaches percussion and also is the music teacher at Crystal Springs Elementary. The section which I teach is Brass Instruments (trumpets and trombones). It is the largest group in the band—25 trumpeters and 5 trombonists—one of the best at this stage of the school year that I’ve taught in 7 years.
