(KMZA)--Marshall County band students will have the chance to practice and perform with the pros.
“What we're doing in Marysville is something that we think is very special and is very near and dear to our hearts as musicians, and that is getting an opportunity to work with those students in the local band program,” said Josh Bledoe, a member of the Presidio Brass.
It's part of the Marshall County Arts Cooperative and its mission to provided every Marshall County student access to professional artist every year.
For more than 10 years, the cooperative has brought artists to Marshall County to work with students.
Brad Ekiss, president of the arts cooperative said, in a press release, having the musicians stay and work with students as well as give a performance is a win-win because the artist's share their talents with students, but the public still gets to see quality show.
“In the middle of our show, we'll invite the students on stage and play a piece from Jurasic Park with those students that we have prepared together earlier in the week,” Bledoe said.
The brass group will work with Marysville band students Tuesday during the day, and the free concert starts at 7:00 Tuesday night in the Marysville High School auditorium.
Then, on Wednesday, the group is headed to Axtell to work with those students and a performance to Axtell High School students.
