The Show and Tell Band is a special DCB community outreach program that
supports Colorado kids and wind music education. Since 1992, this
smaller ensemble has traveled to hundreds of area schools and performed
an interactive music program designed for elementary school kids. The
musicians get to demonstrate their instruments, play a fun-filled
concert, and share their love of music with the kids. And the kids love
it because it's educational and entertaining.
Features

-
Demonstrations of individual instruments (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet,
Saxophone, Bassoon, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba,
Percussion)
