Orff Ensemble
Our group received another perfect score in 2004, 2005 and 2006 from the judges at the Emmett Valley Music Festival. I am so proud of this group! They have work very hard. They rehearse Tues. and Thurs. from 7:30a.m.-8:10a.m.!!
In the fall of 2003 we started our new Orff ensemble. The group was comprised of 18 5th grade students who had a desire for more intense studies on the glockenspiels, xylophones, metallophones, small percussion instruments, steel drums, tubanos, congas and bongos. In 2004 the group grew to 25 students then in 2005 to 29 students. In the fall of 2005 we also started our new hand bell ensemble.
Membership-Membership in the group will help students attain greater self-confidence, larger motor coordination, improve memory skills, self-discipline and self-esteem through participation. There were 100 students who auditioned this year. Unfortunately I could only accept 29.
