Glacial Drumlin Jazz

The FIRST Glacial Drumlin Jazz Ensemble is already rehearsing!
Twenty-two 8th Grade Band students are getting to school at 7:00 am to learn jazz, blues, big band, rock, swing, latin, and other styles of music, including improvisation (the sun has not exploded!) We are currently working up some winter-ish tunes for a little suprise in December.
They keep wondering about doughnuts. Well... you never know when they will appear!

First Concert!

GDS 7th Grade Band, along with the GDS 8th Grade Band (Mrs. Stone, Director), performed their first concert of the year in the GDS Gym! It was outstanding!

Thanks go out to our Adminstration for their support of music.

Special thanks to our Phy Ed Staff for giving up their space to rehearsals, and to our Custodial Staff for their assistance in preparing the gym! We could not have done it without you!

Also, we thank the parents for their support and encouraging students to make music a part of their lives.

And a huge thanks to the students. It took about 10 minutes to clear all the equipment, chairs, and stands from the gym (everyting was back in it's proper place in the band room too!) That is awesome!

In case you would like to listen to the 7th Grade Band, here are the songs we played in mp3 format...
