Lauren has continued to play the clarinet with the school band. She’s waffled a little on whether she still likes it, but we’ll have her do it as long as she wants to. The Middle School has a strong music program, with a full concert band and orchestra for each of the four grades, in addition to two jazz bands.

In mid-January the 5th grade concert band had their winter concert, after 2 cancelled days of school because of snow. They were great! I’m continually impressed with what one music teacher can do with so many beginner musicians.
