There is a new Jazz band director and his name is Mr. Grant. He is a very nice guy and is very into the tuba, that is the instrument he currently plays. He helps us a lot and we get a lot done in a small amount of time. We are playing a piece called Fly Me to the Moon and it is a love song and in the lyrics it says “in other words, I love you” and in another lyric it says “in other words please be true” and these go together because it is saying that the person loves and wants to stay with this other person. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good morning Tigers!
