The Herald Brass played two concerts on Friday morning at the Uruguayan American School, after which they were presented with gift bags and a delicious complementary luncheon.
The Herald Brass introduced students to each instrument, how each one makes different sounds, and how they all fit together in a brass quintet.
The principal of the school took time to thank the Herald Brass for coming, expressed how much their music was appreciated, and how well it was performed.
The group was invited to a first grade classroom where they took more time to demonstrate how to play the brass instruments, ranging from how to make a noise with the mouthpiece, to show how to work the valves/slide, and even worked on learning how to have breath control.
Here are a few pictures of the city of Montevideo from the Antel building on the twenty sixth floor.
Friday evening The Herald Brass performed at an outdoor concert held at the YMCA in Montevideo. The concert was well attended, with an enthusiastic, and encouraging audience. After the concert, the YMCA presented The Herald Brass with gifts of t-shirts, copies of posters that had been used to advertise the concert, and also treated them to a private dinner of beef and chicken empanadas, pizza, and drinks.
Anita had the audience participate in the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, by having volunteers hold up cards that had one of the twelve gifts on each card.
