Danny's Fall Band Concert

What a musical treat tonight! Jake,Molly,Charlotte and I had the pleasure of attending Danny's fall band concert at Scranton Middle School. The place was packed and the 7th and 8th grades bands put on a great show. The 7th graders played 2 songs to open up, then the 8th grade jazz band played 4 tunes, and then the 8th grade symphony band played 2 songs. Then the bands joined together to play and then retire a patriotic melody that was introduced at the fall concert in 2001 to honor the victims of 9/11. Mrs. Evans explained that since the kids in the band today were small babies when the tragedy occured, they don't have the same emotional connection to the music and she will retire it and start a new tradition. We all sang along to Battle Hymn of the Republic and America the Beautiful. They also introduced all the band officers and so Danny, as elected librarian, got to stand up and be recognized. Yeah, we are proud!!
