I love how 1 instrument brings up some cool connections and leads to some great discussions. Today we were playing a game that used the snare drum and it reminded us of marching bands. Canada does not have this as a common tradition although we sometimes see them in parades and in the military. Some students knew about the marching bands in the USA and that they often play at football games. Here was an example of what we watched and how the team has to work together and the skills that are needed to accomplish such a cool work of art.
Which also lead to a short discussion on baton twirling which Mrs. Mitchell is going to be teaching at our Thursday project afternoons. We are sooooo lucky to have her and looking forward to seeing what her group will learn.
