Joshua Clegg plays percussion during "Tarzan." | 257.15 KB |
If you ever walk into the band room at Springville Junior High School during first period, you might hear the eighth-grade band playing a medley of songs from the Disney movie Tarzan. Mr. David Booth, the band teacher at SJHS, said, “The eighth-grade band is doing a most excellent job on the Tarzan piece. It's a very exciting piece of music with a lot of percussion.” Some of the percussion consists of a snare drum, timpanis, a xylophone, and even a trash can. The band students seem to enjoy the piece. Chase Kimball, a trombonist in the band, really likes the song. He said, “It’s a hard piece, but we’re handling it well.”
Mathieson Duncan, an alto saxophonist, said, “The song is an interesting song that has lots of different parts.” From the looks of it, things are going very well for the eighth-grade band. Hopefully you can come to the concert in May to hear the piece!
