We are going to start with um a song you heard the band play, but they played it in the key of B flat. We're going to play it
005in five different keys, none of which are B flat, so it's like a totally different song. Um so we're going to I called this one five batches of hot cross buns because we burned two of them.

[music] >> [music] [applause] >> Um, if you've ever been part of uh the orchestra program, As I've been here, um you'll find that I really enjoy teaching and having the kids play fiddle tunes. Um it's one of those things where if they go other places in the world and want to bring their instruments, fiddle tunes are something that um a lot of people around
006the world are going to be playing. So this is their first fiddle tune. This is called Boil and Cabbage Down. We're going to play it first um just the tune as is and then we have a little rhythmic variation that we'll play the second time around. And then um we kind of ran out of time, but a few of the kids learned a tag, a little special ending that um that they will add on to the end of this one. One, two, let go. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] >> [music] >> One, two, ready, go. [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] >> [music] >> It's time to red go. [music] [applause] >> [applause] >> Well, thanks everybody for coming out. This is always so exciting for them to have their very first
007um orchestra concert on this big stage. And uh they've been working really hard getting up in the morning. I know that that is not always the easiest thing to do, getting your kids up and and going in the morning. Um, but I always tell them that the good news is is that they are getting good practice for when they're in middle school and that's when they have to be there anyway, right? So, they're they're a year ahead. Um, so our final two pieces um are ones that make good use out of just our open strings. So, one thing that we first learn on our string instruments is we learn each of the four open strings and we practice reading a lot of those. The songs you heard at the beginning um added fingers on each
008of those strings. We actually learned we've actually learned how to play 20 different notes um in since the beginning of our time together. But this these last two songs use um just a just two or three of our open string notes. And um yeah, so we we'll move on along with Sarinata and then finish off with Witches Brew, which um according to my former students, I have to teach every year forever. So [laughter] All set.
