Alden’s ‘Band-o-Rama’!
March 4, 2016
To kick off ‘Music in our Schools Month’, the ACS music department presented it’s 2nd annual BAND-O-RAMA in the AHS Gymnasium on March 1st. This event featured performances by each of the instrumental groups in Alden, from the 4th grade band up to the high school!
Nearly 300 students rehearsed from 7:20am-10:53am that morning in preparation for the big event at night. The BAND-O-RAMA evening performances were at 6pm and 7:30pm: two performances of the same show to accommodate the families of all band members grade 4-12, with younger musician’s families generally at the 6pm show and older students at the 7:30pm.

Band-o-Rama is a great way to represent the music program for Music in our Schools month because it really shows how hard these musicians work during band. From my experience it was a lot of time spent to get all of us coordinated. And I’m in high school so good job especially to the younger musicians! I can’t wait for next year!

My little brother participated in this years Band o Rama. Everybody performing together was a lot of fun to see! I enjoyed this years performance very much!

The Band-O-Rama was a bit of a challenge for everyone in the band classes, as we had to keep everybody coordinated, as well as playing two concerts in a row. It even took three conductors to control all the musicians! I feel like we could have done better, but it was still fun.

Band-o-Rama was amazing! I thought the bands did well with each other. Most of my lunch friends were in it and there were only six people in my lunch! Band must be popular.
