During the month of April the Grade 8 band classes will hold a combined class to further prepare for our upcoming Whistler trip. The goal of this combined class is to play our pieces as a massed band, getting used to hearing all of the various instrument sections together to master playing with good balance, blend, and dynamics. This Wednesday we had block 8B join the 8A class in block 4. Next Wednesday 8A will join the 8B class in block 3. Each week we will alternate so that students aren't always missing FAAS.
