Why You Should Join Band

Tuesday, April 28, 2020 | By Damon Harvey | 227 views

We have had a great year in band class at Darlington! I have been thankful for the enthusiasm that my students have shown as I've handed them new music for their folders. It takes some determination to learn to play instruments with so many buttons, keys, valves, wholes, note names, mouthpieces, rhythms, fingerings, and techniques to master. It's fun for me to watch all of the students improve by the end of each rehearsal. During our journey into distance learning, I wanted to ask the middle school band students and the high school band students why they joined band and why others should consider joining. Their answers were allowed to be sincere, animated, hilarious, or musical. I was so impressed with the videos that were sent in. As usual, the Darlington band students put in much more creativity and thought than I had expected. Their answers were fun and encouraging to me as a teacher. I'm thankful for how these students have welcomed me during my first year as the band teacher at Darlington. They made this year very positive and I cannot wait to welcome them back to the rehearsal rooms in Thatcher Hall and Zelle Hall when we return!
