From Mr. Lucita
This will be the last week of the fall semester which means the last newsletter as well! What a great week we just finished! Our Christmas Concert was a great success! Our students looked and sounded awesome which helped everyone get into the holiday spirit!
This coming week sees a few last minute items to be wrapped up before we dismiss for the holiday break. All students should have picked their solos for UIL Solo & Ensemble which is in early February. Every student will participate and will play a solo that fits their performance level! I encourage all parents and families to have their student play their solo for them over the holidays. Each student must have their Solo Selection Sheet turned in this week! They may also pay the $25 accompaniment fee this week or they may do so when we return from the holiday break!
This week also sees our semester finals and an adjusted campus bell schedule starting Tuesday. Some of our students have volunteered and have begun putting together a few quintets to possibly perform for some local community businesses this week. Monday is their opportunity to perform as a group before we attempt to go out and share the music. Once we know how many groups and songs they have prepared we will develop a schedule of possible performance locations and times for this week.
Let’s have a great last week and an even better holiday break!!
