WOW! I'm excited that the start of my second year is nearly here. We've got some great stuff planned for the year and I'm looking forward to building on the good start of 2010-2011. What a nice feeling for me to know most of my students by name as they year begins. Right now we're finishing up 5th grade band placement tests and we've got a nice group ready to begin as new band students the week of Sept. 5. For those returning instrumentalists, now that you are bored with summer, GET YOUR INSTRUMENT OUT of the closet, get it cleaned up, and spend some time playing.

There will be a LOT of information coming your way in the next couple of weeks about goals, schedules, grading, marching band plans, tryouts, procedures, etc. The BEST way to keep up to date is to get in the habit of checking back here OFTEN!

See you guys all soon--stop in and say HI when you're around!

Right Around the Corner

The 2011-2012 is right around the corner and we are busy preparing! We have been spending time picking out choir music, hanging bulletin boards, organizing rooms, scheduling performances, writing lesson plans and planning chapels. Only two weeks left until these rooms are filled with students. I hope you have a great rest of the summer; we will see you soon!
