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 include:
-
Demonstrations of individual instruments (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, Bassoon, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone,
Euphonium, Tuba, Percussion)
- Explanation on how vibration creates sound and how an instrument works
- Demonstration of instruments playing together in concert
- Wide variety of fun music (classical and Disney)
- Fast-paced 45-minute show
-
A chance for kids to direct the band at the end of the concert!
If you'd like to book the "Show and Tell Band" for your school, call Carol Dreiling at 303-798-4719, or e-mail us at info@denverconcertband.org. Typically two concerts a month are scheduled. A reduced rate may be available at times for those with tight budgets and/or in lower income areas thanks to restricted contributions from "Friends of the DCB" and grants to the Show and Tell Band.
