On December 11th the Springville Junior High Band will be having three concerts--one for each grade's band. The bands will play in the SJHS auditorium. The seventh grade concert will start at 6:00 p.m. The eighth grade band will begin at 7:00, and the final performance will be the ninth grade at 8:00. The band will play six pieces of music, which will all be different types of music.

The music the band will be play is holiday music, traditional band music, cultural music, an African folk song, music from movies and classic rock music. The pieces will be played with ten different types of instruments: flutes, clarinets, oboes, saxophones, French horns, trumpets, trombones, baritones, tubas, and all kinds of percussion instruments. Please and support the SJHS band classes by going to the concerts.

It is important for the performers to have fun while playing in the concerts or else they might make more mistakes then usual. “We practice for two class periods during school, and then we perform for our parents that night. I like seeing my parents proud of me,” Michael Martinez a 9th grade band student, commented. He is never nervous during the concerts he is always calm because he is with his friends
