Congratulations on your first concert, Beginning Band! Mr. B did an outstanding job teaching these 6th graders how to play their first couple of notes. Thank you to our amazing administration, our custodians, our 8th grade helpers, and our aide Mrs. Neil for helping us put on their first performance.

And THANK YOU band parents for supporting your student’s music education!

Happy Wednesday! Our Advanced Jazz Band knocked it out of the park touring and performing for elementary students all day. Thank you Rocky Mountain and Thunder Mountain for hosting us! It warmed my heart seeing young students enjoy the awesome performance our 8th grade jazzers put on ☺️

Two of our upstanding 7th grade band students, Kolton and Jack, took to performing taps in remembrance of the tragic events that took place on this day September 11, 2001.

We pay or respects to our fallen fellow Americans, we honor our heroes, and we will never forget.

Good evening everyone! I’d like to introduce you to someone new for this first quarter:

“My name is Trystan Berg and I am going to be the Mount Garfield Middle School band student teacher this fall! I am a local graduate from Fruita Monument and will graduate from Colorado Mesa University in December. I’ve been apart of many groups in college such as the Maverick Stampede, Rowdy Brass Band and the Wind symphony as well as held leadership roles in those groups. I am super excited to share my passion with the students and help them grow as musicians! I cannot wait for a great semester ahead!”

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, everyone! We’ll see you on Tuesday for Back to School Night 😊

Mr. Bajorek (CMU music professor/extraordinaire) volunteered his time and energy today to not only clinic our rehearsal and help our bands prepare for CO West Music Festival, but also shot a sweet promo showcasing awesome students making great music! Dr. Kamstra was also a HUGE help to our jazz students yesterday too, giving us tips and a fresh set of ears to help us perform at our highest level.

THANK YOU, Mr. Bajorek and Dr. Kamstra!

Enjoy this quick clip of a day in the life with the best kids :)
