That's right folks!
Just in time for the holidays, Howell Instrumental Music is here to present a few digital gems for you to enjoy! Below is a link to a google folder. All of the projects were done by kids within the HHS Band program using Soundtrap Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It is a computer application that allows people to use a DAW simultaneously to record, edit, mix, and compose music. I provided a couple of the best offerings from each class, and in the ROAST BEAST folder are the two main courses... 'Sleigh Ride' and the Percussion Ensemble's Arrangement of 'Mad Russian's Christmas', complete with video!
I also left a document with credits listing who was on each project. Even if your child's project was not chosen for the showcase, it still exists, and your student can still open up the file and show you (some projects were "cleaner" than others, but everyone did a good job!).
Special thanks especially to Mason Macdermaid for all his help with helping me learn how to use a DAW, Sean Gleason for doing the vast majority of arranging on the perc project, and Nick Walker for organizing and producing Sleigh Ride! Even more thanks is heaped upon Sean and Nick for producing the videos for Sleigh Ride and Mad Russian on ridiculously short notice.
And, as always, thanks to Laura Allegoet for keeping everything on track and running. I hope very much everyone has a SAFE and happy holiday break and I'll see you soon!

Update! For some reason it seems the Sleigh Ride Google shortcut is broken, so here is the youtube link to it (again, please don't post elsewhere for copyright reasons).
