Merry Christmas! Well here we are just about a week away from our first band concert for the school year! Your students have been doing a wonderful job and I wanted to take a moment to say how proud I am of each and every one of them. Please know this can be a very stressful time in the life of a young musician! They are just beginning to realize how much goes into learning a full piece of music and the pressure of a live show can cause them to become very nervous. Please just remind them that the goal of our Christmas Concert is not to perform flawless works of music but instead to spread the joy of Christmas with our instruments, all while giving them a chance to experience a live performance!
Please note:
MONDAY Dec 12th will be a short dress rehearsal after school from 3:30-5:00. We will work with students playing their songs, getting used to the gym space, and transitioning on and off stage. Students may be picked up at the main doors of the community center!
The Concert will be TUESDAY NIGHT (Dec 13th) at 7pm and will last just under an hour. We are asking students to arrive at 6:15 so that we may tune their instruments and get them in their places. Dress Code for the concert is as follows:
- School Uniform
- Any additional Christmas Flair! (Hats, Socks, Ties, garland, go nuts!)
Mr. Gooding and I look forward to seeing you at our 7th Annual Christmas Band Concert!

Hello Band Parents,
This is a test of my new Band Parent 2016-2017 email list I have generated from your registrations. If there is another address (spouse, grandparent, etc) that you would like me to add to the group so they receive updates please email me (dmyers@noolp.org) and I will add them right away. Also if you hear from a friend that they have not been receiving the band parent emails please let them know to contact me and I will resolve the issue ASAP!
Tuition checks for Fall 2016 trimester (Oct-Dec) are due. Please be sure to send a check made payable to Nativity Bands LLC in with your student or drop it in the office before the end of October if possible. If you have already sent your check in but have not seen it deposited I apologize for the delay as I have had difficultly making it to the bank before they close! All checks should be deposited by the end of this week!
Please sign up for my emergency Text Alert System which will allow me to communicate any last minute cancelations for lessons due to weather or teacher conflicts. I will send a test Text Alert Message some time next week to make sure everyone who has registered is receiving the alerts.
I am very excited to have gotten the program up and running again, and our students seem more excited than ever. I look forward to working with all of them over the next few weeks as we prepare for our Christmas Concert which will be held on
DECEMBER 13th @ 7pm
in the Nativity Community Center
Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your week!
-Mr. Myers
