Welcome Back to an Exciting Busy Year

Welcome Back to the 2016/17 school year.  This is going to be a very busy year for the music program.  

Starting next week September 13 the first choir practices will begin for the Senior Choir and the Junior Choir.  Senior Choir will start Tuesday at 12:00 PM and the Junior Choir grades 1 & 2 will be at 3:00 PM.  The Junior Choir is only for signing up so your children will be dismissed as soon as they get their consent form from Mrs. Mar.  I had an overwhelming response for choir this year so I ran out of forms for the Senior Choir.  I will send these forms out at our practice on Tuesday.  

Band sectionals will begin on Tuesday September 13, 2016 as well.  The first group for sectionals at 8:00 AM is the Flutes.  I hope all the flutes will be bright eyed and ready to work on Tuesday morning.  Here is the schedule for the rest of the instrument sectionals:

Tuesday 8:00 AM                                          Flutes
Wednesday 8:00 AM                                    Clarinets & Bass Clarinets
Thursday 8:00 AM                                        Trumpets
Friday 8:00 AM                                             Saxophones
Thursday 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM                        Trombones
Friday 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM                             Bass Guitars

All instruments should be rented or bought before next week so we can get started learning our instrument or learning new songs.  All students in grade 6 need to attend the sectionals the week of September 13 so the students learn how to put their instrument together and clean them.  This is very important information that needs to be taught to each group of instruments.  

If you have any questions about band or choir please feel free to send me an e-mail or give me a call at the school.
