Band Festival

I was a chaperon for the ABODA band and orchestra festival with the Mesa High Band. I enjoyed watching Josh perform with the Symphonic Band in front of the judges.  There were several members of the Wind Ensemble that joined the Symphonic Band to help them out, including Ashley.  They performed well and earned a Superior.  After their performance, they attend a 1/2 hr clinic and learned some great techniques to help them perform the songs better.  The Wind Ensemble, Full Orchestra, and another orchestra class were there too and had the opportunity to perform in front of judges and each other.  I really enjoyed being a chaperon and hanging out with the band kids and getting to know them better.  They are an amazing bunch of kids and are a great representation of MHS.  They will be getting ready to represent MHS at state.
