Ba-da-BOOM!
Mr. LaPrade, director of bands at Burley Middle School, invited our Stone-Robinson fifth graders to come drum with his eighth grade band on their concert. The elementary students had a great time getting to know Mr. LaPrade and meeting middle school musicians. At the concert, the eighth graders performed an African-inspired piece called Tu Ungane while the fifth graders accompanied on tubano drums. The elementary students learned about the African technique of call and response as part of this project.

Our fifth graders are very thoughtful about their drumming.
Thoughtful indeed!
