Thursday, Symphonic Band students had a workshop with Chicago-native composer Ty Bloomfield to work on his piece, "Shuffle." MCHS was part of the consortium that in cooperation with grade schools, high schools, and universities around the country led to the piece's creation. In addition to helping them prepare the music, he also spoke to them about his compositional process and his career as a musician. The Symphonic Band will perform this piece as part of the Spring Band Concert on 4/23. #WarriorReady156
