Drumline

Kingsway will soon experience their very first drumline! I cannot wait to perform this piece. My percussion section has been working independently on this for the last few weeks. The piece, "I Played My Best For Him," is great and my group loves it! It goes along with the Middle School Choir singing "The Little Drummer Boy." I've been sending the percussion section into my office to work to see how they do with the piece. Today, I worked with them for the first time as a group on this number. Wow! I have some talented kids! One of them took it home and learned it all! He then taught two others in the group their part! Now he's working with another one. He knows all of the parts well enough to teach the whole song! I am so impressed! Students like this make my teaching so much easier!
