Our New Horizons Band played two sets today for students at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins. The kids are so cute and they love it when we show off all the instruments in the band. They seem to love the really big instruments (tuba and euphonium) as well as the loud instruments...percussion (bass drum and timpani). They also got a kick out of the smallest instrument (piccolo).
It's a shame that here in the Poudre School District, they can't start band until 6th grade which is middle school. I don't think they have a strings program either until then. The kids in Fairfax County, Virginia sure are lucky to be able to start early...4th grade!
We're playing again tomorrow for Lopez Elementary School in Fort Collins. And, we found out today that next Friday, we'll play for Johnson Elementary School in town, too.
