BMP 6 students were among the 56 Virginia elementary-aged students selected for the ensemble and had the opportunity to collaborate and perform during the Thursday afternoon rehearsal led by Mr. Jeff Henson. On November 20, students performed 6 Orff arrangements in the program titled "Songs from Near and Far". Most notably, they performed the complex xylophone melody in the Premiere of "Take Time in Life" arr. Jeff Henson. One student received high praise from Mr. Henson, "Look at you! You are doing all of the right things. Great Job". Another student also received praise for being "receptive and attentive to musical feedback."
