Chapel Band Workshops

Because there is no chapel tomorrow (parent-teacher conferences day!), we had a little bit of extra time in chapel band rehearsals.  We've begun rehearsing the songs for next week, but we didn't want to overplay them before next Friday... So, yesterday was a special workshop day in our chapel band elective!

Three students from the high school chapel band missed their last period classes - they weren't too upset about that - to share with the middle schoolers some tips about being in chapel band.  The two girls worked with our vocalists on singing harmony and having good stage presence.  I got to play piano for that group, and it was so fun to hear their voices blend and try new harmonies on familiar songs.

In the other room, a high school drummer worked with our two middle school drummers.  They developed confidence with different rhythms and talked about techniques for the drum set and Cajon box drum.

It was great to see these older and younger musicians learning from each other and worshipping God together!  We'll be doing this again soon.
