006watch at home um in a normal year the students would have been coming up and announcing and we're trying to like make sure that everybody stays in their space today especially since they're playing instruments where their masks are coming up and down so i will be announcing our first piece today is going to be repo march and it is only going to select a um it's only going to feature a select group of people so i'm going to have those ah [Music] wow [Music] now [Music] uh our next piece is going to feature sophie otterson who actually just started on clarinet this past september and olivia rocchio they're going to play um lightly row on clara [Music] me [Applause] is going to start on piano and then move to flute this is actually a benchmark
007assessment for our sixth grade student um sixth grade students it is an expectation that they are able to play this by the fall of their uh spring sorry by the fall in the first semester of their sixth grade year and everybody in this room today has accomplished that goal despite the fact that we started last year full of remote so without further ado sawmill creek by bruce pierce [Music] um uh [Music] foreign [Music] uh [Music] foreign [Music] we're going to feature the clarinets one more time and narrowly we roll along [Music] my [Music] [Applause] our next piece is entitled christmas greetings and it features the tune up on the french cup and good paying rentals okay [Music] huh [Music] uh [Music] foreign [Music] ah [Music] [Laughter] and our final piece this evening was definitely a
008challenge for us but it pushed us to play in numerous parts it pushed us to listen within our sessions and play like a band it's in this past year we've done a lot of unison pieces we've heard a couple of unison pieces tonight um but i am really proud of the work that this band has put in in their ability to play within the sounds of the people around them and to work as a team to accomplish a piece that's difficult so our final piece of the evening before i dismiss the students when we start cleaning up is going to be packed victory [Music] uh [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] uh [Music] bruh [Music] uh [Music] [Applause] and thank you for all of your help and support this year we are going to start coming
