Although it looks like many dates, I have worked very hard to limit the amount of out of school rehearsals that an individual student has to attend. I love that our students are very versatile and busy after school, these Small Ensemble Rehearsals and Jazz Band rehearsals require all students to be present in order to be successful. I appreciate your efforts to make sure your children are at the required events. If there is a major conflict please let me know ASAP and we can see if we can adjust.
I appreciate the work that the students are doing. Please remind them to be practicing their parts and listening to the songs online. Their work at home will determine the success of our groups. I am looking forward to a very successful spring season!
Thank you for all of your support of your children and the music program. We could not do this without you!!
