The Elementary Band Festival was on Wednesday, April 6th. Students came from six of the elementary schools in the Littleton Public School District. They had sectionals with Colorado Honor Band Symphony Winds Students, most of whom attend Heritage High School, and one young lady from Arapahoe High School. The high school students ran sectionals and they did a great job. Steve Asheim, retired Heritage Band Director was the Director of this group. The students were all given the music ahead of time, facilitated by the general music teachers at each school. Kolancy music and Colorado Honor Band was very pleased to support this event.
Centennial Elementary is the only elementary school in the district with a program during the school day. All of the other instrumental programs are being offered by a variety of groups and teachers before and after school. Erika Knaub, lead teacher at Centennial Elementary in Littleton, was the teacher who made everything happen. She did a wonderful job and should be commended.
The musicians did a great job, worked hard all afternoon, performed at 6:00 p.m. and gave a remarkable concert considering the amount of time they had in preparation. Pizza and all, everyone had a great learning experience and time.
Too bad all the elementary schools in Littleton don’t have Instrumental Music.
