"Band Blast Off" Assembly Program
Band Blast Off is a multimedia, educational music program that combines
music with elements of science, history and humor to promote curiosity and the
excitement of participating in the school music program. During Band Blast Off
your students will explore scientific discoveries of sound and travel through
time visiting distant lands and historical places while discovering related
instruments along the way. Volunteers are then selected to play the instruments,
forming the school's first quintet! The program is interspersed with dynamic
tuba playing and the Band Blast Off rap!
This program is appropriate for pre-elementary students through sixth grade.
Band Blast Off has been presented at over 2000 schools across the country and
