Making Music Together

When I was in middle school, my band director took us to an event at North Idaho College. This was my my first time in such an auditorium. I still remember being in awe of the size, and of how many students were on the stage. I don’t remember what we played, I don’t remember who was conducting, but I remember the experience. Last week I got to take my own students to the same event. It was nostalgic watching students work with the guest

conductor and interact with students they have never met, but who enjoyed the same interest in playing music.

This special performance, which honors our veterans, can be found on the North Idaho College YouTube page (links below). I encourage you to see the results of the students’ hard work, watch some 1st Pres members perform in the Wind Symphony, and take part in the universal joy of music.
