Last Taylor Band Concert

Josh had his last band concert at Taylor Jr. High tonight. The evening started off with dinner and an award ceremony where Josh was presented a plaque. The concert was amazing and started with the 7th grade Stomp Project where students used everyday items to create rhythms. It was hilarious and Mr. Quamo and Mrs. Piranio were in the act. Following that performance, Mr. Quamo showed a Disney clip of Lion King in which his band students provided the background music. They recorded this production at the Disney Studio. What a great experience for these kids.

The Symphonic Band performed the following numbers:
1- Pulsation
2- Fantasia on the Dargason
3- The Magnificent Seven
4- The Best of Journey
5- Jazz It Up

After their last song, the audience gave the band a standing ovation which was followed by an encore. When the encore was ending, Mr. Quamo quietly left the stage and the lights dimmed. It was sad to know that this was Josh's last concert at Taylor Jr.
