E.B. Spring Band Concert

Last night, at G.W.M.S. the 4th grade chorus, the beginner's band(5th grade), 5th and6th grade chorus, and 6th grade band held a free concert. It was a night of music and fun as the chorus sang their hearts out and the band blasted out notes.
The first group to perform was the 4th grade chorus. Standing high up on the risers they proudly sang their tunes. They ended with the upbeat song "Footloose", complete with dance moves and everything.
Then, the beginner's band performed. This was only their second concert, but it was obvious that they were very confident. They performed "Friar Jacques", "Mexican Hat Dance", and last but not least "Let's Go Band". "Let's Go Band" is an upbeat tune that features each part of the band and then the band as a whole. It got the crowd clapping along. The saxophone section seemed to have fun as the bobbed along to the music as they played. They even waved to the crowd at the end of the song, awaiting their applause.
Next up was the 5th and 6th grade chorus. They were missing many members due to either flu or a softball game, but they still gave a wonderful performance. The chorus performed a song about peace, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", and a three part song about baseball. The three part song was very funny and very lively.
Last but not least, the 6th grade band performed. They played songs such as "Grand Old Flag" and of course "Let's Go Band". They even added their own cheer at the end, "6th GRADE BAND! BEST IN THE LAND! YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!"
All of the performers did a wonderful job and further prove that EB Music Program is truly, "A Tradition of Excellence".
