GJHS Performs
at University of Dayton
The Greenville Junior High School Concert Band, under the direction of
Mr. Brian McKibben, was invited to visit, rehearse, and perform at the
University of Dayton’s Department of Music on Thursday, March 10,
2016.
The students of the concert band worked with Dr. Patrick Reynolds, who
conducts the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. During their
three hour visit the band worked on several selections that are being
prepared for OMEA District 11 Band Contest that is held May 7th in
Troy, OH.
One of the highlights of the JH band’s visit was the side by side
experience they had with the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. The
Wind Ensemble performed two selections for our JH band in which our
students were able to see the Wind Ensemble’s music and see firsthand
how college level musicians play. Greenville is very
fortunate to have students in our Junior High Concert Band that not
only are good musicians but are able to handle themselves socially in
out of school environments. The Concert Band and Mr. McKibben received
many compliments from Dr. Reynolds on how well they rehearsed and
performed. The members of UD’s band were also very complimentary of the
JH Band. The Junior High Concert Band is comprised of 7th and 8th
grade students. (Photo: Dr. Reynolds rehearses the GJHS
