Westfield band students in grades 6-8 performed a band demonstration concert for all of the 5th grade elementary students from Coloma, Oxford, and Westfield during Middle School Orientation Day on April 23rd. The concert presentation included the beginning sixth grade band, middle school concert band, and the middle school jazz ensemble, with each group performing two selections.
Several students then performed short solo demonstrations on each of the main instrument types in order to get the 5th graders thinking about which instrument they would like to play as new band members next year. The middle school and sixth grade students were fantastic role models, and the 5th graders were an attentive and enthusiastic audience.
