This is a message about a field trip our HS trumpet players will be taking and the 7th & 8th Grade Trumpeters will have an opportunity to take on March 5th. During Block 7 and 8, the trumpeters will be going to a master class at the Congregational Church to help them prepare for a recital on March 7th at the church as well. We will be meeting with Thomas Verchot who will give techniques and rehearse the tunes we will be playing that Sunday. The recital is optional, but I would love for as many of our trumpet players to be involved as possible. i have the music and will be distributing it this week. I will get more details about the recital as it gets closer, but I believe it will be at
3:00
Sunday March 7th. Thanks!

A Message from GRMPA
We are watching the weather for Saturday very, very closely. At this point, it looks like we will not be receiving significant accumulation, and it will start Friday evening. Snow showers are expected to continue into Saturday, but it does not seem that we will be experiencing any type of blizzard conditions, which is good.
As those of you who have done this before know, the chorus room will be filled with hundreds of bags of fruit, and it absolutely must be delivered this weekend, so, as of now, we are proceeding as scheduled on Saturday morning. If we get dumped on during the night on Friday, we will delay the start of the delivery so that you can dig out and the roads can be cleared. Our tentative start time should this occur will be
10 AM
. Please check your e-mail that morning; I will send out the decision as soon as I get a handle on the forecast, which will be very early.
Again, we have 25 routes, so we should be able to get through this very quickly.
Thanks again for your participation. See you all on Saturday!

Attention 7th Grade Students, you will have a HW assignment due on Monday.
This should be a
TYPE WRITTEN paragraph that should state how you are going to accomplish our new class goal.
The goal is to have the four pieces of music we are currently working on close to performance ready by February 26th.
If the music is prepared properly and is at a level that is acceptable for a 7th grade ensemble, we will be bale to move ahead on some more complicated music.
If not, the 7th
graders will continue to focus on the four pieces we now have and will only perform those pieces in our May concert while the 8th graders will perform two more complicated pieces on their own.
Please let me know if there are any questions.
Update

The 3rd MP Lesson Schedule and the Lesson Groups are now posted.
Lessons do not start until Feb. 1st because I am a chaperone on the Model UN trip this weekend.
Please not that there are
a
few changes in Lesson Groups.
I have also updated my email lists.
If you are not receiving emails from me, it is either because I have never received an email address, typed it wrong from the beginning, or a change in email address.

This is for parents and students.
