Band Student/Parent Feedback – look for results next week

Thank you to all who responded.  I will be compiling results this week and will share next week. I decided not to work on this over the holiday weekend. 🙂

 

 Guest Instructor  5/21/13 – Ann Pearce brings flutes for students to try

Ann Pearce, President of the Raleigh Area Flute Association and of the Raleigh Flute Choir, brought the extended flute family to CA!  Students were allowed to try playing: piccolo, pennywhistle, E-flat flute, open holed C flute, Alto flute, Bass flute, and Contrabass flute!
