Kara in All Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band

Last week Kara was able to participate in the All Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band concert in Des Moines. It was a fantastic performance by the top 132 8th grade band students in the state of Iowa.



Here are a few videos from the concert...



"Call of the Prairie" was commissioned for this event and was composed by the conductor Lisa Galvin. It pays tribute to the Ioway Indians, the people for whom Iowa was named.


"Spirit of the Solitary Defender" is about the many moods of the jaguar, including an exciting chase to capture its prey.



"March of the Armed Forces" includes the official songs of 5 branches of the Armed Services and honors service members past and present.
