OPERA - Last year was the STUDIO 88 OPERA COMPANY.... presented their opera, HEAD GAMES on June 11 & 12 at the Garde
The year's theme created by the students was: DRAMA - BEST FRIENDS OR WORST ENEMIES? The opera, HEAD GAMES, was about 6 teens who go to an adventure camp where there is rockclimbing and other extreme sports. But the drama happens between the campers who never know if their best friend is actually their worst enemy!
BAND- Practice "Urban Invasion," "Bandroom Boogie," #2 & #10 (Hymn of Thanksgiving) in your book - see attached recording
listen: http://www.alfred-music.com/product_info.php?products_id=5467 (new piece - "Integrity")
Select students went and worked and played with the Metta Quintet at the Garde, learning to improvise after watching their performance of "Stolen Moments: the first 100 years of Jazz". Watch the video of their experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLSSRzf3iAU
