5th grade Band Notes
January 9th, 2017
Reflecting at the half-way point of the year
Happy 2017 everybody! We are about halfway through the school year which is a great time for reflection. I am extremely proud of this 5th grade group for so many reasons. Their effort, their enthusiasm, their success- but I am most proud of their perseverance. Learning how to play an instrument is like learning how to read and speak an entirely new language and it is not always easy. These students have had great work ethic and great patience and have gotten to the point now where they are starting to play some really great music. The first concert was fantastic and was a night that I will always look back on with tons of pride.
After-School Band Continues
Our Next Performances
We will also be having an event called Band Showcase Night on Monday, April 24th. Students will have the opportunity to perform solos or group songs with their friends. They can request a song that they like and I will produce an arrangement of it for them to practice. This fun, talent-show type event and is different from a typical band concert. Students are not required to participate but we hope that they will consider doing so. More information will be sent out at a later date.
Our final performance of the year will be our spring concert on May 9th.
