Christmas Tunes

As you can see the JH and 6th Grade Bands are filling the band room in Gridley with great music. In addition to building their musicianship, they are rehearsing for upcoming the Holiday Concert in Gridley. The concert will take place at 7:00PM on December 18th in the EPGJH Gym. It will feature creative arrangements of classic holiday tunes, including a piece called Santa at the Symphony that also features music of classical composers. You will get a great experience at this concert on the 18th.

The band's are working so hard and the progress is evident. They are sounding more mature every rehearsal. I couldn't be happier as they progress as musicians. It's also nice just to get to know them better as we work together to make music. Please come support the Fine Arts here at EPGJHS.

Some of the JH Band clarinets, trumpets, alto saxophones, and percussionists rehearsing in early December.

We spend rehearsal time practicing good technique while preparing Carol for Christmas.

Delaney and Seth are focused on playing the right notes as the trumpets work out some fast passages.

This JH group is starting to get into some tricky passages in harder music.

Carol for Christmas is based on theUkrainian Bell Carol. It has become one of the most recognizible Christmas songs and it frequently used in movies.

Jeff performs his part on alto saxophone.

The band rehearses two days a week in the band room in Gridley.

They will be performing at contest and possibly at ISU in the upcoming semester.
