This concert marked our very first Fifth Grade Band performance. Fifteen kids bravely performed 2 songs for a very enthusiastic audience. And it was so much more special because of the stands you donated were utilized. It was a Winter Concert Miracle. 😊 \r\nThese stands will continue to be utilized each day as the students return after break to a new set of band instruments to learn. They'll be trading in their clarinets and trombones for saxophones and trumpets. These stands will hold their books and enable them to play with good posture, always a must.

This stand rack has been so helpful in organizing our new music room. It is considerably smaller than our old one, so we have less storage space. Large items that can't fit into the closet need to be stored so that they can easily be moved to get to whatever is behind them in the closet. Having our stands on this rack with wheels has made that possible.\r\n\r\nStudents can easily access the stands and wheel the rack around the room making it easy for them to set the room up quickly and without stands being all over the place. As you can see from the pictures, students are taking ownership of their learning by setting up and breaking down materials quickly and easily. Thank you so much for supporting our project.

With the wiffle balls, we can now use the scoops we got a couple years ago. We are young and the balls end up over the fence.

The audience thought it was cute and comical, especially the little \"meow\" at the end. \r\n\r\nWe did \"Welcome Here\" as our finale, and it went well. We even had two of the second grade teachers join us on the drum part. It was a nice surprise, since I had only told the students that we would have a few \"guest drummers\" when the concert came. The audience ate it up. I plan to program this piece every year as our Spring Concert closer with the choir and second graders combining. It's a wonderful sight to see the stage overflowing with students joining in song.

Some kids play while the rest sit in a circle and play the game. Then they switch. It keeps things fresh, and they don't realize they're singing the same song over and over. Their second favorite xylophone activity is to play an ostinato, a short melodic pattern, while I read a book. \r\n\r\nLastly, I plan to add some xylophones to our Spring Concert this year.
