Those Fabulous Flutes--Anne McGinty

This is a pretty strenuous program for the band, but should only last about a half hour. We will look forward to showing you our progress.

MAY BAND OF THE MONTH



The May Band of the Month is our day 3 and 6 group, consisting of 29 musicians from the classes of Mrs. Tobey and Mrs. Krichau. The instrumentation has good variety, but is a little heavy on trumpets. (A good opportunity to teach them to control their sound--all of you parents would appreciate this at home, I'm sure.)

Flute: 3
Clarinet: 4
Alto Sax: 3
Tenor Sax: 1
Bass Clarinet: 2
Trumpet: 10
Trombone: 4
Percussion: 2
