Lawrence Area School was treated to an amazing performance by the visiting James Hargest High School band on Friday. Room 4 students were amazed and inspired by these students who showed great musical talents. We were especially interested to find out what each of the instruments was called and how they sounded when played on their own. Can you find the following instruments....
bassoon, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, flute, tuba, saxophone, tenor horn, euphonium, drums, glockenspiel, timpani, bass drum, bass guitar, electric guitar, mirimba...
We hope they visit and play for us again in the future.

Wow Room 4, it sounds like you have been truly inspired by the James Hargest Band. It is wonderful to have an opportunity to see a group that 'strive to excel' in music. You can see that determination, courage, inspiration, equality, friendship, respect and excellence are values held equally high by this muscical group as by Olympic athletes. These values are key to all successful performances...sports, music...dance...you name it! Glad to see you all loved it!! Mrs May
