Excellent Performance on Monday Evening!

Congratulations to all of the 5th grade band members on an outstanding performance on Monday evening at our Holiday Concert!  I am so proud of all that the band students have accomplished in a few short months.  I am excited about the progress we are going to be able to make throughout the rest of the school year.  I sent a packet of 4 other holiday selections home with the brass and woodwind players this past week.  They are four familiar holiday tunes in which all of the instruments are playing the melody line and these are meant to be some 'fun' pieces that they can play for grandpas and grandmas or others over the winter break.  As always, thank you so much for all of the support that you give these young musicians as they are working on developing their talents on their instruments.  If you are interested in attending any of the matinee performances, please see the schedule that I posted a few weeks ago!  Enjoy your break from the regular routine of school over the next few weeks and make the most of your family-time over the vacation!!
Until next January.....
Mr. Hubers
