Can you believe it is the last week!?

What a great year it has been in the music room! The kids have grown so much! The hard work the kids did was apparent in the concerts, programs and the Annual Fund Dinner. Next week we will watching our programs in most classes and evaluating them, what can we fix for next year and what did we excel at! In Choir and Band we will be finishing up projects..the kids are doing tremendous! Sadly no PK and Kindergarten...what a fun group of kids can't wait to see them again next year. Band Sign ups for next year are outside my door, please have students do so during their lunch before Friday. Grades 6-8 Choir sign ups for next year are also outside the music, an audition schedule will be given to teachers for Friday May 4 during the school day in the morning. Students need to come prepared with a song. Please only encourage students to audition if they are very interested and commit to the choir program. Any questions, please let me know! 5th graders interested in choir will be selected at the beginning of the year. Have a great summer!

The Concert and Programs Wonderful!

Wow, where to start!!! The Concert that the Guitar Groups, Band and Choir students were featured at gleamed with brilliance! Every group sounded phenomenal, and overall was an exceptional performance! Choir Parents, please see the Jubilance tab for more about the concert.

Next week is Annual Fund Dinner, we will be having practices after school starting Sunday (Mother's Day) from 7:00-9:00 ad through the week. The Annual Fund Dinner is on thursday, I will give you more updates as Thursday approaches.

Any student in the Annual Fund needs to have their costume at school for the Sunday rehearsal. All choir members that do not have a part in the Annual Fund Dinner please be at the Sunday Practice.

The PK-2 Program was excellent, the kids shined!!! They worked so hard, They always amaze me at all they retain and do to create a successful performance. Thank you for all the help from parents, teachers, and all who have graciously given to make the program a success!

Kids in Eastman and McMahn's classes are working great on recorders, keep encouraging them to practice at home. Ask your child in Mrs. Eastman's class what they have learned about the Mouri Culture. The 6th graders, helped prepare for the concert and program last week and we talked about different music professions. Third grade working hard! Check the agenda for more details!
