Happy Thanksgiving!!

As the holiday season draws near, final preparations are being made for the Holiday Concert which will be held on Monday, Dec. 12, at 7:00pm.  This concert will include the 4th/5th grade orchestras and the 5th grade band.  It will be so exciting to see all of our orchestra and band students on stage at the same time!  The concert will take place in the Performing Arts Center. 

I would like the band students to 'dress up' for this performance and would like them to assemble in the high school band room by 6:45pm the evening of the concert.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about our first performance!

I wish all of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving week!
Until next week,
Mr. Hubers

Keep working on Holiday Sheet Music for Concert!

The 5th grade band members will make their debut appearance at our annual Brandon Valley District Elementary Band/Orchestra Concert on Monday, Dec. 12, at 7:00pm.  The concert will be performed in the Performing Arts Center.  The band students have been working very hard on their new sheet music and are excited to perform for you!  Selections include some familiar holiday tunes such as 'Frosty the Snowman', 'Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow', and 'Ding Dong Merrily on High', as well as an upbeat arrangement entitled 'Rockin' Jingle Bells'. Other highlights of the concert will include 'The King's Flourish' - based on the familiar carol 'Good King Wenceslas', a 'Winter Medley' and a novelty selection entitled 'Christmas Elves in Santa's Workshop'.  Please encourage your child to continue practicing their sheet music as well as their lesson book materials. 
I look forward to seeing all of you at our first performance!
Until next week....
