Monday April 20th Info for Spring Concert (Emails reposted to blog)

Hello Parents!

It is that time of year again and we are just a few weeks away from our Spring Concert on May 5th at 7:00pm over at ABW.  The students have been working hard and are coming down the home stretch! Please encourage them to continue to keep practice and this will be a concert to remember. 

I have sent home tuition reminders with all of our band students. If you have already sent in a check for the spring trimester your invoice should be marked PAID. Please remember to make checks payable toNativity Bands LLC. 

The kids are really sounding great and I can't wait for everyone to hear this years Spring Concert!

Intermediate Orchestra will meet Thursday AND Friday this week at lunch from 12:20-1:50 to make up for last Friday's lesson. Please notify your student to be ready to come in at lunch both days. Thanks!

On MONDAY April 27th we will be holding an after school dress rehearsal from 3:30-5:00pm please be sure to make plans for your student to attend. I know this is a busy time of year but this is our chance to put the whole show together with all 3 ensembles. The dress will be held at NATIVITY we will be down in the hall to practice. Thanks so much!

I apologize again about the mix up with May procession and our spring concert. The new OFFICIAL date for the spring concert will be May 5th @ 7pm over at ABW. This new date does come with its challenges. First off our 4th grade will be on a field trip that day during school hours making a dress rehearsal during school impossible. We have decided we will hold an after school dress rehearsal some time the week before to prep the students for the concert. This new date is also a week earlier meaning the students really need to up their practicing these last few weeks!

Spring Concert Date Change

Hello Everyone,

As many of you have noticed our spring concert is conflicting with May Procession.  I thought I had double checked all the conflicts but I clearly missed this one. I will be contacting Wood later today to find an alternate date for the concert. Please hold tight for more information. Sorry for the mixup, more info to come soon!

Spring Concert INFO

Hello Parents!

As we move into our third trimester we start looking ahead at our Spring Concert. I have officially booked a date with Wood for our spring concert which is MAY 12th @ 7pm! Please make arrangements to attend and as always this is a free concert open to anyone and everyone so please bring the whole family. This concert will again feature all three of our instrumental ensembles (Guitar Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, and Orchestra)! 

Many of you know my wife Lisa and I are currently expecting our first little one very soon, May 17th if anyone is counting. The concert will go on WITH OR WITHOUT ME! I have made arrangements with Mrs. Ferrio, Mr. Gooding and Mr. Dair so in the event I am unable to attend the show WILL go on. 

Lastly I would like to address some of our snow makeups! Once we get a bit closer to the concert and the kids have a good bit of music under their fingers we will be adding some additional rehearsals to make up any missed time (plus some extra). This is the best way I have found to make up any missed time, It is the most productive time for extra rehearsals so please keep an eye on the blog and your emails for exact times and dates as the come. Thanks again for all your support! 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Myers

Woodwind lessons rescheduled today 3/19/15

Hello Parents,

I apologize for the short notice however with our PAWS show just a day away I am going to have to reschedule our after school lessons for the kids today! I have a number of parents coming in to decorate the hall and finish setting up the last of our sets and props. I will still have lunch recess lessons today so the kids will need their instruments. I will make up their lesson portion some time next week (Tuesday 3/24/15) when my schedule opens back up. Sorry again for the short notice we tried our best to finish up last night but just ran out of time!

-Mr. Myers 

P.S. this DOES NOT effect trumpet, trombone, or string ensemble lessons ONLY the ones I teach!

Shake it Off TAB and Drum Groove
