7th Grade Band Clinic with Jonathan Walsh
The Hadley Jr. High School 7th Grade Bands had the opportunity to work with Mr. Jonathan Walsh of Glenbard West High School. Jonathan Walsh is the Fine Arts Chair and Director of Bands at Glenbard West. The 1st Period and 2nd Period ensembles rehearsed their spring concert repertoire and worked with Mr. Walsh to enhance the story and musicality behind their programmatic pieces. Hadley Jr. High Directors Samantha Tribley and Chris Cooper enjoyed seeing their students learn from their future high school band director.
The Hadley Band Program and Glenbard West Band Program have a wonderful collaborative relationship. The Hadley Bands are proud to see so many of their students continue with their music education at Glenbard West. Kudos to all!
