This year the 9/11 Ceremony concert went a lot better than in previous years. It was very redemptive. The songs were a little easier this year and we gave the right balance of time into practicing to make a great performance. Although there were minor playing flaws in certain areas, they are only learning experiences. I messed two notes up in Armed force March but it is all part of the experience. but like i said, the concert was of equal redemptive quality from last years performance. It was a good start to the year and little moral boost for music to come. it was a great start for the freshman as their first performance in high school. we now know where we start and what we can improve on from this start. during the spring concert, we can look back to this performance as a referance to see how far we have come.
