Reminders

• First practice card of second semester is due tomorrow (Monday 1/14)
• Solo/Ensemble permission forms/fees are now late:(
• 6th graders had a tech time assignment over the weekend!

Solo & Ensemble

Students wishing to participate need to turn in their permission forms no later than TOMORROW, 1/9.  I will need to register them for the event soon.  There is an $8 fee for students wishing to perform a solo at contest and then if they are in an ensemble they need to pay $4/person.  For example if you are doing a piano solo, violin solo and duet you would need to bring $20.  Checks should be made payable to EJHS.  Email Mrs. Boyd with questions.

2nd Semester Practice Cards

2nd Semester Practice Cards begin now, start recording your practice minutes and the first practice card of the semester will be due on Monday 1/14/2012.

Performances Today

Since our concert was cancelled last night I will have the students perform today during the school day (times listed below); if you are available you may come watch, it will be very casual in the cafeteria. Do not worry if you are not available, I will record the concert and post it to Edmodo or another private wall for your viewing. This will allow everyone to see it and keep your privacy in mind. Please DO NOT call Evans with questions, our office is VERY busy today, if you have questions email me: martink@unit5.org Thanks for your support!

Performance Schedule:

6th Grade: 130 p.m.

7th Grade: 145 p.m.

8th Grade: 225 p.m.

Concert Cancelled

Our concert for tonight is cancelled due to the weather.  If we have school tomorrow (Friday) please bring your instruments, we will be trying to pull together a concert in the afternoon (during orchestra class times.)  Once details are determined I will be sending a skyward email to parents.  If we do perform during the day tomorrow (at school) we will try to record the concert for parents to view later.  Sorry for the inconvience, but safety of the students and families comes first!
