Kickin' the Bells

School concert tonight! Whoo-hoo!

Always fun to create new music with my students. Tonight's concert will feature two brand-new works written especially for their respective ensembles: VGM (Violas Get Melody) was written for our elementary honors strings, aka "Extreme Strings," while "Kickin' the Bells" (my take on the ubiquitous Ukrainian Bell Carol) will be premiered by our Chamber Orchestra.

Lots of other great music happening as well, with all four high school orchestras joining the Extreme Strings tonight.

So, I guess I better go get ready so I can head back up to school for the fun!

More later,
