What a magical time our Mighty Griffin Advanced Band students had at Disney World in Orlando, Florida! Our Griffins had the opportunity to learn from a Disney music expert and performer and have their own recording session to moving pictures - just like how the pros do it for all those Disney movies we watch on the big screens! Afterwards, they enjoyed staying in their resort hotels, exploring the world in Epcot Center, and then hitting the rides in Hollywood Studios. Best way to end a school year after of a lot of hard work and dedication! Way to go, Griffins!
Don't forget...➡️TWO WEEKS LEFT, JULY 5th⬅️ to register for NDYA football. Information can be found on ndyasports.com.
Eight of our Mighty Griffins were selected to perform with the Louisiana Bandmasters Association All-Star All-State Honor Bands at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, LA! They heard the high school blast and jazz bands and then rehearsed, performed, and ate great food with the best middle school band students from across the state and met the world famous composer of music, Jarod Hall. What a FUN way to start a summer with excellence and excellent music!
Our NDMS Instrument Try-on Night was a 🎉HUGE HIT🎉! Students were able to hold and play instruments for the first time and decide if they wanted to be in our 26-27 band. Griffins have been picking up their band instruments the last few weeks. We are proud to introduce a few of our new Mighty Griffin Band Members! ❤️🎼🎺🪈💙 It’s going to be a fantastic year as we lead, learn, serve, and grow in our music capabilities!
