Here's a shout-out to the Palestine Middle School band, both students and directors. On Friday, band students traveled to Nacogdoches High School for the middle school Solo and Ensemble competition. I haven't seen any official results for all who took part, but according to my sixth grade clarinet player, nearly all the sixth graders who competed received high marks, both as individuals in Solo competition and in their Ensemble groups. Wow! I couldn't even make squeaks come out a horn when I was a sixth grader. I'm VERY impressed with the band directors who A) have the talent themselves to be able to teach someone how to play an instrument; B) have the patience to do so without killing someone when they do stupid things with expensive instruments; and C) pour so much of themselves and their passion into these kids. THANKS from a grateful mom!!!
Band directors - Please e-mail the Herald-Press (either bfoley@palestineherald.com or community@palestineherald.com) a list of who did what and we'll run it in the paper. If you've got a group photo, we'll run it, too.
