Instruments Home for Break

Please be sure that instruments are brought home for break; students need to be practicing when they have down time between holiday parties, travel, etc.  If you do not see an instrument home tonight please be certain it comes home tomorrow.  We will not be playing tomorrow, instead doing station/games with the band and choir students so they will not need instruments.

No Holiday Strings Friday Morning

I am very sorry, but there will be no Holiday Strings on Friday, December 16th.  My son is ill and I will need to be home with him.

Concert Reception Donations Needed!

A note went home today regarding our concert on December 12th, you can find a copy of that note HERE !  It has information on the call and concert time, concert dress, location and the reception.  At this time we are looking for adult volunteers for serving at the reception and clean-up, as well as donations of cookies (store bought only, sorry!) and/or money to offset the reception cost.  Please return form if you can help in any way. Thanks ~Mrs. Boyd

6th Grade Combined Rehearsals

At this point all 6th grade students have been given a handout regarding after school/before school combined orchestra rehearsals.  Since we have two different orchestra classes this is our only chance to rehearse our concert music together, which is SO important.  The two rehearsals are Wednesday, December 7th from 3-345 p.m. and Friday, December 9th from 7-740 a.m.  I am requiring the students to attend at LEAST one of the two, but will award extra credit to all students who can attend both.  Please feel free to email me with questions or concerns.
