Good Afternoon! Yesturday we took 15 students to Pearsall to audition for the Junior High All-Region Band. The students competed against 14 different schools and hundreds of students to earn a place in one of two bands. Our students did very well, but we did have a few heartbreaking moments. In the trumpets section four students missed the band by a few chairs. 24 trumpets were chosen for the bandand Carlos Tomayo was 25th, Jared Garrison was 26th, John Martinez was 28th, and Eddie Morfin was 30th. They competed against 74 trumpets 

The four students that made the band were: 

Juanita Saldana 8th grade Flute 

Concert band 

Elissa Gallegos 8th grade Clarinet 

Concert band 

Ariel Muraira 8th grade Clarinet 

Concert band 

Mason Ringer 7th grade Alto Saxaphone 

Concert band. Mason was beat by 8th graders. 

These students will participate in the Jh All-Region Concert and Clinic in Pleasanton on Feb. 20 . Im very proud of all our students , especially the 7th graders who tried out. We are in a very tough region and all of our students did a great job. Thanks Mr. Fender and Mr. reyes for your help.

we had a band concert yesterday 

we played

1. all i want for christmas is my to front teeth 3``

we had the opportunity to play with our spectacular 6th grade band during carol of the bells they did there best and it turned out wonderful  

During the rest of the week we worked very hard practicing on our christmas songs and we also worked on our scales we are working on our Ab scale Eb scale and Bb scale they are very fun scales to play and they sound very nice our chorale 1 sounds relly good too. 

the jr high band has been working extremly hard for a competion coming up soon this competion is called region band , here we play all sorts of scales and a lyrical and technical etiude , all of those things take practice and dedication from all band students competing but it takes time , anger and makes our band directors grow a little bit of grey hair to teach us those things 


saying this i think we speak for LYTLE band students we would like to give a huge thank shoutout to our 3 band directors , for alwyas teaching us what we need to know and never giving up no matter how stressed or upset they maybe it takes a lot of pations and enegry to keep up with 13-18 year olds , thank you .

   This week we are working on our Christmas songs that we are going to play at our Christmas program. And during the week Mr. H came to visit us and he also conducted for us. during last week everyone had their chair test on the G major scale . All last week we worked on the region music (Lyrical Etude) .  The name of the songs we are working on are All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, Jazzy ol' Saint Nick and Carol of the bells .
