CURRENT MUSIC NEWS:
Since the beginning of the school year, Middle School Band students have improved significantly at playing their instruments. We are all anticipating their big performance debut on May 17th!
Music History students have been learning about the Modern Era of music. They have been learning about various show tunes and other American music (including John Cage; a radical, not-traditional composer).

Concert Attire
Students should dress up and look nice. This can be interpreted in different ways, and I am okay with that. I would prefer no jeans or shorts. I would also prefer no sweatshirts or shirts with spaghetti straps. Leggings for girls are fine with me. Solid colored and patterned shirts are preferred. Please do not wear clothing with words or pictures on them, as this might be a distraction to others.
Parents: Please pick-up your child(ren) immediately after the concert. They will remain with their class until you pick them up.
