What a great field trip! Thank you to the chaperones, Miss Cestnik, Mrs. Cestnik, Ms. Gotshall, and Mrs. Senko for making this trip possible!
I have heard back from most of the students about the experience and though they don't normally listen to symphonic music on a daily basis, the theme of "Fascinating Rhythms" kept them interested the entire time.
The narrator was great explaining the theme as well as each piece before it was performed. The music varied from Beethoven, clapping music, to a Sousa march, to a new piece that was in the style of conga music.
I look forward to sending the 4th graders again next year to the symphony and hope that the 5th graders (who have gone to the symphony twice now) are beginning to get excited about band instruments in the fall!
