BCD students in grades 4, 5, and 6 (AKA Middle School Chorus) had the opportunity to go off-campus to visit the Monument Mountain Jazz and Concert Band yesterday, and boy was it a treat!
The high school musicians performed various classics from jazz such as “Take Five,” as well as film score hits from “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean,” at the campus of Richmond CSD. Kids were delighted to hear some fun, upbeat tunes as well as beloved movie melodies.
Another treat was bumping into several BCD Alumni who were instrumentalists with the band.
Looking forward to MS Chorus’ future musical opportuntities! Maybe some of our MS musicians will end up in a HS Band! Special thanks to Ms. Doherty for finding out about the concert and coördinating logistics! I know our kiddos so appreciated the opportunity.
Other fun facts: Mrs. Vivian Caputo (former BCD Music Teacher and nationally-known Orff-Schülwerk teacher trainer) stopped by for a surprise visit this week during 3rd Grade Music class! What a coincidence that they were learning Recorder… Also, greatly looking forward to enjoying our beautiful Mason & Hamlin studio piano in the new Kim and James Taylor Music and Performance Room.
Thanks, and have a good weekend! ~CM
