We saw some new faces Wednesday-we were happy to have several members of the Franklin Silver Cornet Band play with us today. We even have veterans of the Junior Silver C's program; here with the trombones, Sydney is coaching the percussion section to greatness, and Matt, a trumpet player, has been flitting around helping here and there. Mr. Stuttler was back and today he played his big bari-saxophone with our bass clarinet player. Andy Bell hung out with Logan in the tuba section, and I think I saw Mr. May in each section at least one time throughout the morning. The band sight read Ragtime; it will prove to be our biggest challenge with its syncopated rhythms and many-layered parts (including a nod to the Yankee Doodle tune). Mr. Cartwright and the band dissected and worked through The Curse of Tutankhamun, a unique sounding piece that sounds mysterious and gives creepy yet cool sounding vibes.
We got to move around and meet some new people and laugh with a game called Food, Friends and Fireworks (sort of like rock paper scissors but with cooler motions and sound effects and no winner/loser-just silly fun).
