Thank you Mr. Srigley (@VBHSNation) for inviting some of our 8th grade trumpet players (@GMSProud) to participate in a masterclass this morning with former GMS/VBHS student, and now trumpet professor at NEIU, Dr. Travis Heath. We learned a lot sitting in with the HS students!

If you’ve ever heard @UFGatorBand play this with the famous “chomp”, fun fact, it was started by a student who would go on to be a (now former) GMS Band Director, Mr. Musgrave!

3 of the instructors just so happen to also be @GMSProud alumni whose #TigerTreks have brought them back “home”! #GiffordProud

And a special shoutout to our volunteer team!
Current @GMSProud parents, former parents, @VBHSNation band students, GMS/VBHS alumni, and even community members came out this evening to run stations and help our families with anything and everything!

Amazing turnout tonight at Band Family Engagement and Registration Night! Families (new and old) got to learn about volunteer opportunities, meet our board members, get fit for student/parent band shirts, update contact info, and make sure they are ready for the year!

The halls of Gifford Middle are once again busting with life as the first day of a new school year unfolds! Students streamed in with a mix of excitement and determination.

We were very fortunate to have Mr. Srigley, an alumni of Gifford 6 and Gifford 7, former GMS Band Director, and now Assoc. Band Director at @VBHSNation come work with students from @GMSProud and @OMS_Connected at our Back-to-Band Camp last night! #GMSProud

Launches are LOUD! Before sending our satellites to space, we test to ensure they can withstand the noise of launch. PACE just finished its acoustic testing, and to celebrate the US Marine Band joined us to see if they could match the decibels of a launch.

When a student comes into class and requests to sightread Star Wars on May the 4th… you run to find it and spend class discussing musical motifs, how music impacts a story, and sight-reading! All standards covered in middle school band!!
