Concert band

As marching band starts to come to an end, concert band is just beginning. Band kids don’t have an “off season” we always have something going on. Such as last year during concert band season our wind symphony made IBA which is Iowa Band Masters Association. Which is such a great honor. They had to put in a lot of work and practice time to prepare for the performance.

Also the symphonic band has to prepare for Large Group contest, it isn’t very strict but our music has to be correct. We just go, play our music, and get a score and then leave. It is very laid back and easy. Nothing to stress over, Right?

Most of the things that happen during our year we are very well prepared for. Mrs. Fleer and Mr. Wacker make sure everyone is prepared for everything that is happening. Because they want us to be the best players we can be. They push us to do well and excel in music.

There are some people who are just in band for the grade, because it’s a easy A if you just show up. But there are many people who are there because they want to be and because music is very important to them.
