On Thursday, February 18th, Dr. Leonard Upham, University of Northern Iowa Professor, conducted a clinic
with our 7th/8th Grade Band. Dr. Upham worked with the students on many valuable musical qualities such as
breath support, tone quality, musical style, and a balanced sound. His advice
will be very valuable as we continue to practice for our Large Group Band Festival performance in March.
