This week the Wind Ensemble students had the pleasure of working with and hearing the Gaudete Brass Quintet from Chicago. The Quintet is made up of 2 trumpets, 1 Trombone, 1 French Horn, and 1 Tuba. It is a collection of outstanding musicians who make their living as performers and teachers.
The Gaudete Brass were here to rehearse with the Wind Ensemble in preparation for a performance which will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7:00pm at DGS. The performance will feature the Eisenhower JHS Band, The Lakeview Wind Ensemble, and the DGS Wind Ensemble. Each of the groups will be performing a selection with the Brass Ensemble.
Our rehearsal went very well and it demonstrated to the students how hard we will have to work to sound as good as the pros. We look forward to another rehearsal with them in a couple of weeks to prepare for this performance.
