6th Grade Band Meets Composer

The WMS 6th Grade Band was visited via Google Meet by Mr. Peter Terry, the composer of one of their pieces for the Winter Band Concert, "Golden Dawn." He was gracious enough to give up time to meet and talk with the band about how he came up with the ideas for "Golden Dawn."

He shared how he was in Hawaii on a hike overlooking oceans from cliffs and hiking through deeply wooded areas and came up with melodies that he used in this piece! Imagery of walking just before dawn in misty foggy areas before the sun rises to lead confidently through the wilderness are part of the main themes. He also listened to the band perform the piece for him and he gave them some constructive feedback about exactly what he was hoping to hear and achieve when writing the music. He congratulated the students for a job well done and was very impressed with the musicality of the 6th grade band!

Kudos to all those hard working musicians!

The band is excited to perform for families, friends and community on Thursday, November 30 at 7pm in the WMS Gym.

Thanks -
