It’s only his first year in Band but 5th-grader Royce Tye already dreams of playing all his favorite songs. In a heartwarming twist, he already has his own trumpet that has been in the family for almost a century. What a fantastic start! Congratulations on being April’s Student Musician of the Month, we can’t wait to hear your favorites!
Music makes you a happier person. It’s like medicine.
Orcas 5th grade band student Royce Tye
The Music Student of the Month series recognizes Orcas Island Public School musicians who work hard at their musical skills and whose love of music is an inspiration to their fellow student musicians. Thank you so much to the Orcas Island businesses who are sponsoring this monthly series throughout the 2018-19 school year that recognizes the efforts of student musicians and the value of school music!
