Music To My Ears

My project educated elementary students on basic music theory and gave them a hands-on experience with a variety of band and orchestra instruments played by members of the high school concert bands and orchestra. Along with that, it educated junior high students on basic marching techniques, with the help of the Fighting Cardinal Marching Band, and allowed the students to listen to college students and the high school director speak on their experiences being in high school and college bands, and what band will be like in high school for the students. This project was made to encourage furthering music education in young students, and was part of my Girl Scout Gold Award, where 65 hours were put into communicating with council members, principals, directors, music department members, maintanence crew, etc. The event was held November 17th, 2007 from 10a.m.- 3p.m., and was a humongous success!
