The KHA Band performs twice a year in the school's musicals: once at Christmas and once in the Spring. The Band is comprised of two separate bands: the Concert Band (which has the Beginning band members (4th graders) and Intermediate band members (5th/6th graders)) and the Advanced Band (6th/7th/8th graders).
Emily is part of the Intermediate band along with her classmates, Caryn (on clarinet) and Shawna (on flute). Nine of her classmates who were in band last year did not want to be a part of band this year. Yes, it was a huge loss. So I am very proud and appreciative that Caryn, Shawna and Emily kept at it and did not quit.
The Beginning Band has nine 4th graders that are all gung-ho to be in band. And they play really well!
During the Christmas Musical, the Concert Band played two songs while the Advanced band played three songs.

Over the weekend, both bands had the great opportunity to play at our local mall. They got to wear for the first time their official KHA Band polos in the freezing cold. The sun was not out that day for some reason. The kids were allowed to wear white long sleeve shirts underneath their polos. Emily didn't have one so she ended up wearing one of my long sleeve thermal shirts. Let's say it was very big for her but it kept her somewhat warm.

| We had a good turn out... probably because the majority of the audience were parents and family members! |
