Mr. Flynn believes the purpose of the team is to learn, sing and create music. He says some of their duties are concerts, solo/ensemble contest and large group contest.
Mr. Flynn believes the team is successful because a smaller group allows for more one on one learning and helps everyone who participates.
The team has fun by playing band jeopardy and a music trip at the end of the year.
Mr. Flynn says, "Students involved in music tend to do better at other aspects of life, true fact!" are some advantages of being on his team.
Mr. Flynn is proud that they are doing very well for a small group.
Some of the team's achievements this year are consistent high ratings at solo/ensemble and large group contests.
Mr. Flynn, thank you for all that you do!
