Uniform Prep

We’re adding a little twist to our show, Altered Perspectives, this year. Not only do we have the most awesome props ever, but we will be modifying our uniforms by covering the gold front with silver and making skirts that will be hidden at the start of the show and then revealed during the show. It’s going to be so cool!

Which means… We have a little work to do.

This Thursday, September 13th, 5:30-7:30pm, we will meet at the home of Christy Stephen to start the process of covering the golds. We need help with tracing, cutting, pinning, and some machine sewing.

If you are available and willing, please let Christy know. Hope to see you there!

Football Game

If you are interested in helping fill water jugs, covering the bleachers, pluming, gauntleting, or pushing equipment prior, during, and after the game, please contact Pierre Echternach. Helpers will meet in the band hallway at 5:45pm.

Ms. Munday’s News & Notes…

Sep 10, 2018 | Ms. Munday's News

Our first concert has a name! It is Forte of the Silenced. The students came up with many choices and voted for the name they wanted. I think it’s beautiful and poetic, outlining the former fate of women composers and the voice that they enjoy today. I hope that everyone will come Wednesday, October 17th at 7pm and hear these beautiful, diverse pieces of women composers.

As always, thank you, parents, for your steady and patient support for the Instrumental Music Program!

Mr. Stone’s Thought of the Week…

Sep 10, 2018 | Mr. Stone's Thought Of The Week

7/8 night was a blast for everyone! I always enjoy seeing the connections made at 7/8 that continue when they slowly become the high school band. It’s a great evening to celebrate the joy of music present in our community and schools.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the MPA meeting this Monday night. Without this amazing group of parent volunteers, our program would be lacking in so many things. Thank you all for your continued support of our music.
