The Copper Street Brass Quintet, based out of Minneapolis, MN, traveled to Baxter Elementary to present their program, "Big Ears and the Blue Ox", on Sept. 17th. The students were engaged interactively throughout the program. The students helped Big Ears the Rabbit and Babe the Blue Ox create the perfect song for Paul Bunyan's birthday. Through the use of brass instruments and percussion, the students were offered a fresh perspective into the world of instrumental music.
