6th graders have been scheduled for a make-up lesson if they have missed any lessons since the start of the 3rd quarter.
7th Graders do not have lessons this week. They should make arrangements with Mrs. Sederquist or Mr. Quaglieri if they have not yet recorded their solo. (Percussionists will do this during the week of 2-26)
Late Winter Concert
It's Concert Time! Our late winter concert will take place at Sun Prairie High School on Monday, February 19 at 7:00 PM. Here are some reminders about the performance:
- The PVMS band room will not be open after 4:00 PM on Monday. Students must bring their instruments and music home with them at the end of the day.
- Students should plan on arriving no later than 6:30 PM in their band uniform.
- 6th Graders will meet in the Band Room and 7th Graders will meet in the Orchestra Room.
- Students should enter through Door #3. This is the first door you come across when approaching from Hwy N.
- The concert will take place in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and is a free event. The concert will also be streamed live on the PAC's website.
We are very excited for what promises to be a great evening of music and we hope you can join us!
Current Information from Prior Newsletters
UW-Whitewater Trip (7th Grade)
Instrument Step-up Night
Many students find that they reach a point where they are outplaying their current instrument. "Stepping up" to a higher quality instrument is an investment in your student's future and gives them the opportunity to accelerate his/her musical progress.
During the week of February 19, we will have demonstration instruments available for students to try out. Parents can then contact Rob Smith (rsmith@ward-brodt.com) to make an appointment on Thursday during conferences to talk through financing options for moving to a high-quality instrument.
