On Friday, February 28, our XHS Symphonic Band was visited by the Wright State University Director of Bands, Dr. Shelley Jagow and other student clinicians from the music program.
Dr. Jagow and her assistants put on individual clinics and masterclasses for each instrument section within the XHS Symphonic Band as they presented on techniques, the benefits of playing on quality equipment, offered rehearsal strategies, and helped our students prepare to 'level up' within their craft as they aim to play more modern and complex repertoire as the group navigates the second half of the year.
Mr. Lewis would like to thank each XHS teacher that volunteered the use of their space to accommodate the clinicians, the XCS administration for their continued support of the arts and all band students for being receptive to new people, ideas and musical experiences.
