5th grade band stars perform matinees!

The 5th grade band stars performed their matinees for their campuses this week!  All of the bands did an outstanding job of performing for their peers.  I am so proud of the time and effort that the students are putting into learning to play their instruments.  They have had a very busy week with their concert on Monday evening and matinee performances throughout the week.  Please continue to encourage your child to practice over the holiday break as I am excited to begin working on more challenging music for the rest of the year!

5th Grade band stars SHINE at Holiday Concert!

Congratulations to the Brandon Valley 5th Grade Band on their outstanding performance at our Holiday Concert last night!  Your attention to dynamics, tempo, fermatas, fingerings and rhythms created an exciting showcase of your talents and abilities for our appreciative audience!  Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to our instrumental program and I look forward to moving on to even 'bigger and better' things for this coming semester.  You guys and girls ROCK!

Countdown to the Holiday Concert!

Wow - it is December already!  The days are going by so quickly as we are making our final preparations for the Holiday Concert.  Most of the students have been working very diligently preparing for the performance.  Thanks for continuing to encourage their practice time at home - it truly makes a difference during our full band rehearsals and their small group lessons. All of the band students received an information sheet/reminder regarding the concert during rehearsal this week.  All of the information has also been posted on the blog earlier and was placed in the Brandon Bugle, Bennis Buzz and Assam Anchor.  All students are expected to participate in our performances as 'Performance' is part of the District/State Standards for Instrumental Music.  The band and I are looking forward to performing for you.  As soon as the dates for the matinees are set, I will post them also!  See you at the concert!
