Go Behind the Scenes of Wind Ensemble’s Collaboration with Erin Bode
The Wydown Middle School Wind Ensemble and Orchestra both were selected by the Missouri Music Educators’ Association (MMEA) for the distinct honor of performing at the organization’s 79th Annual In-Service and Conference held on Jan. 25-28 in Osage Beach, Missouri. The Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Jennifer Shenberger and Mike Kanaan, collaborated with local jazz musician Erin Bode for their performance of a composition of the music of Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. With financial assistance from the Clayton Education Foundation, the composition was arranged specifically for the Wind Ensemble’s MMEA performance by a local composer.
This video, created by Clayton High School juniors Thomas Wagner and Tennyson Thomas, takes viewers behind the scenes of the performance.
