Christmas Concert

Hello all,
I want to take this opportunity to express how proud I am of the job the Strings (as well as the other ensembles) did on their Christmas Concert. I saw excitement in all of my students and I am really happy to have seen that. All sounded really good. Job well done Strings!!! I can't wait to start back up in January. See you all then!!

~Mr. Gooding

This week has been a bit crazy with our Anne's Choice Choir and being off on Monday. Mr. Dair would like to Make up the missed guitar lessons from Monday (Dec 8th) TOMORROW (Friday Dec 12th) after school. Beginner Guitar 3:30-4:00 Intermediate Guitar 4:00-4:30. Drum Lesson students will meet with the Intermediate Guitar students from 4:00-4:30. If this poses a conflict for anyone please let me know via E-mail. 

Dress Rehearsal Information:
MONDAY December 15th from 3:30pm-5:00pm will be a dress rehearsal for the concert. ALL students in Guitar Ensemble, Orchestra, and Wind Ensemble will please stay after school for us to try to run through the whole concert. This will be our chance to work through our concert order as well as getting the kids comfortable moving on an off stage and knowing when they are going to play what! It will also allow us to make up some of the time we missed over Thanksgiving and Halloween. Attendance is Mandatory (pending any family emergencies) please do your best to make arrangements for your students to attend. (Students do not need to be "dressed up" in christmas gear for the dress rehearsal)
