Country for the kids.

Trigger 5, a St. Louis country band, played with an elementary school orchestra for a fundraiser last night. Our fiddle player is a violin teacher and taught his students Faded Love and a couple blues tunes for the show. We had a great turn out and raised a good amount of money for the orchestra program. The kids loved it! Hopefully, we will get a few young country and western fans out of this. The students were fascinated with the steel guitar too.

Check out Trigger 5 and The Soulard School Orchestra playing Faded Love.

This is the coolest elementary string performance I've ever seen. I've been in elementary education for 38 years. The best!
