Grandparents Day
On October 6th, Intermediate Band provided a little entry music for grandparents, parents, and special friends as they entered the church for mass. We stood on the church veranda and played a rotation of five songs that we have been working on this fall: London Bridge, Ah! Vous Dirai-je Maman, Frère Jacques, Maymouna, and Ache Kuwwa. Even though it was a bit windy, guests were still delighted and impressed by the music as they came into the church!

Fall Concert
Fall Concert
Our first concert of the year was held on November 14th, 2023 at the Athenaeum theater. We performed four songs for the Intermediate Band portion of the program, including a Moroccan round called A Ram Sam Sam, an English round called Hey, Ho Nobody Home, a traditional song from Réunion Island called Sat Maron, and a Czech duet called Stodola Pumpa. These songs showcased many of the skills we have worked on during the first trimester, including rounds, duets, and pitches in the lower range of our instruments.
