ADVANCE NOTICES FOR CHRISTMAS CONCERT

On THURSDAY, Dec. 12, the middle school music students will present a festival concert of Christmas music. Bands and choirs are both involved. Please make plans now to join us. A few advance notices for your planning:

1. The concert time is 7 p.m., and is in our gym. It looks to be about an hour long.
2. This is the one concert of the year in which we don't ask the students to be in uniform, but rather to celebrate Christmas by what they wear. Possibilities include Christmas colors, Christmas sweaters or ties, scarves and/or gloves, Christmas bows or other decorations. Use your imagination. Keep in mind that you need to be able to perform well in your 'costume', and so do those around you:)
3. Encourage your students to practice over the Thanksgiving break. The time between Thanksgiving and concert is very short this year.
4. I've been enjoying your students!

THE FALL CONCERT WAS A GREAT NIGHT OF PRAISE!

We're so thankful for all the teachers and students who helped make it possible. It was an evening of fun with music and joy and thanks to our God. Here's a clip to remind you of the evening. 

GIVE THE GIFT OF MUSIC THIS YEAR!

Band parents who are considering purchasing a new instrument for their student should be aware of this great deal! From now until the end of 2013, the YAMAHA Corporation is doubling their current rebate program on new instruments. That means $100-200 back on many models. Stop and see Mr. S for a brochure or shop at Meyer Music and ask about the Yamaha holiday rebate. A new instrument under the tree could mean a lifetime of musical satisfaction for your child.
