A Successful Saturday

Congratulations to all the members of the Freshmen Concert Band that participated in the Ohio Music Education Association Solo & Ensemble event this past Saturday.  I am excited to share with you that all the events the ninth graders participated in earned a superior rating, the highest achievement possible!  Our brass choir, woodwind choir, percussion ensemble and three soloists achieved this through hard work and a dedication to success.  I am very proud of the students and their accomplishments!

For those students who were not able to be with us on Saturday, a make-up assignment was distributed in class on Monday, 1/26/15.  (I have also posted the assignment at the top of this page.)  Students need to complete the assignment and return it to me no later than Friday, February 6 in order to earn credit.

For the next several weeks, the students and I will continue our preparations for our next concert on Wednesday, March 4, 2015.  I am excited to see how far we can go as we continue to pursue excellence!

Have a great week!
