LMS Music performs with LHS Music

On Friday, May 20, 2005, Ms.Katrina Gardner and LMS 8th Grade Band visited Mr. Thomas Green and LHS Symphonic Band for a combined rehearsal. Ms. Gardner had sent the music to LHS so that LHS Symphonic Band would be prepared for the rehearsal. Mr. Green conducted Shaker Variants while Ms. Gardner conducted the selections Blaze of Glory and Regenesis. Each eighth grade musician sat next to a high school musician as Ms. Gardner rehearsed the combined band. It was fun and productive rehearsal for all.
