Music Experience Day
5th Grade Music Experience Day is on February 1st at 9:00am. On this day, 5th graders will be bussed to Discovery Middle School for a performance by the Discovery Choir, Band and Orchestra. Students will also learn about their music class options when they are 6th graders, and will get an up close look at all the instruments. Please read this letter about music class options in middle school. Also, if your child is interested in trying a band instrument, there will be two sessions (Feb 7 and 9) where 5th graders can try band instruments at Discovery. There is an online scheduler to register for the instrument fitting time that works best for you. Contact Matt Salzer at salzerm@fargoschools.org if you have questions.
