Winter Band Concert 2008

On the evening of Tuesday, December 16th, Red Lion Christian Academy hosted the annual Winter Band Concert. Alex again played percussion, now for the Middle school. Abby made her debut performance on the clarinet for the 4th grade.

This first video is of a song called the The Crusader March, composed originally by John Philip Sousa. This was performed solely by the clarinet section.



The young man next to Abby was having problems with his instrument. So ultimately Abby was performing a solo here.

The next video is of Abby's actual solo. She was the only performer in the 4th grade to have one. Her music selection was Go Tell Bill, originally composed by Giocchino Rossini.



The final selection was Alex's first number for the evening. The music selection is called Carol of Joy. He's on the crash cymbal.

Wait for it... Wait for it...



Alex actually performed on 2 other songs; one on the snare drum, the other on the bass drum. I may post them later...
