Mr. Booth, the band teacher, said, “The first band performance of the year was great! The students did an excellent job!”
Ninth grader, Josh Rassmussen, said, “Honestly I was a little nervous about the band performance.” Josh went on to explain that he was nervous because there was a special solo for the clarinets that he was a part of.
Chloe Wilson, a ninth grader in band, said, “It was fun to play; I love band.”
Josh Rassmussen also said he was excited for the next performance which he says will be in the spring. Chloe Wilson is also excited for the spring performance saying that she is looking forward to the new pieces they are going to play.
