I will try to post a trivia question every week. The winner will picked from everyone who can write down the question and correct answer on a piece of paper and return in the first day after the question is posted. I will draw a winner from a hat. To get in the hat you must have the correct answer.

Please check the Union information and try to encourage your student to keep practicing. They are working hard, but still need more work. Please come with us and either help supervise or watch! I think you will be impressed with what they have done.

So far, the semester is really going well. We are farther in book 1 than any other class has ever been able to do and the classes are learning to read music much better. I have not been collecting the last few practice records due to time constraints in class, however, I will be collecting 19-23 next week. Please make sure your student is up to date on these and that they are signed.
Band Detention: For those of you confused about what band detention is, here is an explanation. I have been concerned about student grades due to practice records so we re-implemented band detention for those students not doing their practice. Band detention is every Thursday after school until 4:30. During that time, students are to practice the entire time. This time makes up their missing points and raises their grade. Students can get help from me on Thursday as well wether they are in band detention or not. It is my one day dedicated to nothing but middle school students. Some students have already taken advantage of that and significantly improved their scores.
The Spring concert is coming up fast! We will be sharing the concert with the MS choir so that parents can clear less dates! The concert will be less than an hour and very entertaining. I hope to see all of you there! If you check the dates on the school calendar of events, it is only listed as MS Choir. It will be both and I will try to have that changed soon.
