Concerts, Solos and More!

What a crazy time of year it is! This past week or so has been filled with activity!

The 6th grade concert on the 9th was wonderful. What a fun group of students to work with. On Monday the 7/8 groups gave their concert and did an awesome job!

Yesterday the 6th grade band students (and a couple 7th and 8th graders) performed the solos they had been working on for the past month at the elementary. Their judge was Katherine Breitbach, 5-12 band director at Colo-NESCO. She is always full of energy and gave some great feedback to the students on ways to improve their playing and performance. It was also nice to see so many parents, family members and friends there in support of those playing!

A couple reminders/updates:

All 6/7 band members need to be at the middle school on Friday at 6:45PM for the 8th grade promotion event. This is our last performance of the year.

All 7/8 choir members need to be at the middle school on Friday at 6:40PM for the 8th grade promotion event. This is our last performance of the year.

Summer lesson forms are due on Friday, May 20th. Students should have them. They can be downloaded at the middle school website. Students are not required to take lessons. However, the option is there and we can certainly work on a wide variety of things over the summer.

Finally, as things stand now, the district will remain at 3 full time music faculty. Thanks for your support of the program!
