Our 5th grade beginning high brass class had a splashing good time today! 💙🎺💛 

Students learned how air support helps them play higher notes, but with a twist. They submerged their bells in buckets of water to add resistance while practicing. 

The challenge? After the activity, the students who could hit the 4 highest notes earned the ultimate prize… dumping their buckets of water on Mr. Barnby! 😂
