As we wrap up the 2009/2010 school year at Caprock Academy, I would like to celebrate the progress of the instrumental music program this year. Caprock High School was in session for the first year ever, and with that first ninth grade class came the first ever, Caprock Drum Bugle and Fife Corps. Four ninth grade students had the opportunity to take a semester of band, and they made the most of it. The Drum Bugle and Fife Corps had their debut in the Lion’s Club Parade, and wrapped up the year by performing at the musical production, “Round”
Instrumental music classes were offered afterschool, four nights a week, to interested students in grades 5-9. Instrumental offerings were: flute, trumpet, drum cadence, piano keyboard and wind and percussion ensemble. Approximately 30 Caprock students participated in this opportunity.
Keep Enjoying your music, students! I look forward to hearing good things from you as you take your basic, beginning skills and move toward musical excellence!
