The 5th grade band members will be performing their solos the first week in May. Mr. Goheen will be listening to the students at BE on Monday and Tuesday, May 3 & 4; at RBE on Wednesday, May 5; and at FAE on Thursday, May 6. The solo performances will begin at 9:15 each morning in the instrumental room. I will be sending out a schedule when we get closer to the performance dates! Remind them to keep on practicing even with the weather becoming nicer!
