Disney Performance
Our 8th grade band put on a spectacular performance at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World on February 2nd! After that, they enjoyed visiting Epcot, The Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios! The trip went smoothly, and everyone had a great time. This could not have happened without the hard work of our amazing chaperone team, and the cooperation and good attitudes of all of our students. We are very proud of them, and look forward to hearing about all the great band trips they take as part of the Walton and Pope High School bands!

Dodgen Pops Holiday Performances
The Dodgen Pops, a group of thirty 7th and 8th grade students, spread holiday cheer in East Cobb and downtown Atlanta! They were featured at the East Cobb Park Holiday Lights celebration (complete with a write up in our local paper), and also performed at the State Capitol along with the 8th grade chorus and an orchestra ensemble. These rewarding performances are sure to become traditions for the Dodgen Band!

Breakfast Bash
We have had two of our very popular breakfast events so far this year! This is a great way for students to hang out with their band friends and enjoy some well-deserved time to socialize in the band room. We are very thankful for the many volunteers and donations that make these events possible!

Concerts
All grade levels had concerts in late November and early December! These concerts provided an opportunity for parents to get a glimpse of what we have been doing in class. 8th grade was thrilled to have over 50 alumni and guests join us on the final selection of the concert! In addition to the concert pieces that were performed, all grades work on all the fundamentals of performing, including detailed work on scales, rhythm reading, and ensemble perfomance skills. We are very proud of every grade level for their accomplishments!

Ensemble Showcase and Evaluation
Dodgen is unique in having nine extracurricular ensembles for our students. They meet once per week in the morning before school, hence the nickname "morning ensembles." In these groups, students gain a new level of independence and get to play unique instruments like the soprano saxophone, bass trumpet or steel drums. These groups put on a showcase concert at Dodgen, followed by a GMEA Evaluation at Hightower Trail Middle School. Every ensemble received the highest possible rating of superior!

8th Grade Night
On October 14th, both Walton and Pope High Schools hosted students for 8th grade night! Our students, along with students from Dickerson and Hightower Trail, joined forces with the high school bands and performed in the stands at the Friday Night game. At Pope, students were involved on the field as part of the halftime show! Overall, students got a great preview of what the fall is like in high school band, and got to meet their future classmates. |

Disney Performance!
On Thursday, January 28th, the Dodgen 8th Grade Band performed at the Waterside Stage at Disney Springs! The weather was a little rainy, but there was still a good crowd, and the band put on a great show! Following our performance, the students enjoyed time at Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. The group represented our school very well, with excellent behavior and politeness the whole time. We plan to continue this tradition when our current 6th and 7th graders reach 8th grade!
