Mixed Ensemble (Brandon LaFleur, Instructor)
This week we worked toward full run-throughs of each piece. Wayfaring Stranger and Chester were reasonably comfortable, but Spiritual Medley required a lot of attention to play each song with the transitionary sections. We did eventually have our first successful full run. We also received and began working on a student arrangement of a Navajo Song.
