Letter From 8th Grade Band Student
On Saturday, February 21 the whole 8th grade band and I had to get up really early to go to school to practice our music for festival and our concert with Mrs. Kenworthy and our special guest Dr. Matthews from Wayne State University. It was nice that she could be there because we fixed a lot of things, like dynamics in our songs and made them better. We also had lots of fun while doing it. After we finished rehearsing with her we got into groups with Wayne State Education Music students and worked on stuff we personally needed help with. Then we ate pizza and breadsticks and it was delicious! We had one final group rehearsal with Dr. Matthews then it was time to go home.
