Hi, hey, hello!
Thank you to all who came out to the spring concert last Thursday. Cornerstone Church was a wonderful venue; one that I think we are going to continue to go to for the spring concert. I also believe that the students performed wonderfully! Some of the literature they played last Thursday was NOT easy, but they made it seem like it was. I Am, in particular, brought me to tears and that is definitely what music is supposed to allow a listener to do: feel! We are ALMOST done with the school year. Just a few more things left before we dive into next year. Beginning Band Night Extra credit will be given to those who can help set up and work the beginning band instrument rental night at Meadowbrook Intermediate on Thursday, May 17th. Meet me at Meadowbrook in the gym at 5pm and bring your instruments! We offer flute, soprano clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and percussion to 5th graders, but bring other instruments (piccolo, bass clarinet, tenor/bari saxophone, horn, and tuba) to allow them to see what they can step up into! Graduation Graduation is next Saturday, May 19th. Call time will be 5:30pm, dress is nice clothes! We play before the ceremony as well as Pomp and Circumstance, which is the song that the graduates walk out to. Band Final The band final is scheduled for Monday. The exemption list has NOT been sent out yet, but if you do not have any more than 5 excused absences and a C or better in the class, you do NOT need to take the final. However, if you would like to take the final to raise your grade, it will only help you - it cannot hurt you! I will communicate in class with those who have to take the final. Memorial Day Parade We will have a quick Memorial Day Parade rehearsal on Friday, May 25th from 1pm-3pm. We play the school song during this parade and at the ceremony after the parade, we play the National Anthem as well as the school song. The parade is Monday, May 28th - call time TBA, but plan on meeting at the school. I will be sending out an email to the 2018-2019 Marching Eagles soon to introduce all the summer activities we have going on! Please start sending me any absences so that I can start writing those in my attendance sheets. If you have any questions about what you need to attend vs. what you do NOT need to attend, let me know!
