Welcome to the Christmas season in the music department!
Please note the Night, Lights and Music concert has been moved to Saturday, December 15th. Tickets are $5 presale; can be purchased at Security First Bank, Sackers, Hip Hop or at the school office; or $7 at the door. This will be a nice concert featuring the Swing Choir, HS/ML Band, HS/ML Choir, Flag corp., and perhaps some additional surprise performances!
K-5th grade Christmas concert will be on Tuesday, December 18th. The title of this year’s program is “Light Up the World” and should prove to be an extremely entertaining evening, I know the students can’t wait to share it with you!
Beginning Guitar class continues to meet on Wednesday mornings. We faithfully have nine 3rd-5th graders attending. Keep an eye out for this group as they will make special appearances throughout the year.
The 4th graders are carrying on with their recorder lessons. Starting after our Christmas concert we will be doing testing for beginning band, starting band early in the 2nd semester. The majority of school owned instruments are already being used, so students will be responsible for purchasing their own instruments. We will be hosting an instrument display where Haggerty’s Music from Rapid City will come and have an assortment of instruments for a semester rental with an option to buy.
Please remember 4th grade through 8th grade students should be practicing each and every week. Parents need to sign the practice records each week, simply stating I’ve seen & heard my student practicing throughout the week. These practice times are a part of the student’s grades. Please note that week #17 over Christmas Break counts as extra credit; a good opportunity for students having trouble getting all their practice times in.
We have some exciting news! The music department got 48 new music stands! We are looking to get rid of the old stands. For $5 a stand you can get your student a stand! They will be offered on a first come, first served basis. These would be great to use at home for your own practice time!
