Greetings!
It's hard to believe that November is here already. We have been hard at work in band class with learning new music and new musical concepts and we are excited to share it with you in December.
At Cedar Ridge, our winter concert is scheduled for December 10th in the gymnasium at 1:20 pm and the choir will be joining us again. Thunder Band will be performing a transcription of selections from The Nutcracker, a cool tune called The Great Locomotive Chase, our old favorite, Sleigh Ride, and some other holiday tunes. Mountain Storm band has made huge strides in the last month, and you will be amazed to hear them perform several tunes that have melody, harmony, and bass lines.
At Boring Middle, our concert is scheduled for December 17th at 8:30 am. The Advanced Band will be performing a selection called Smithsonian Suite that features music composed for four of the museums located within the Institute. Also on the program will be Christmas Finale, Sleigh Ride, and some other holiday tunes. Bears Beginning Band has also made great strides, and they are excited to show you how much they have improved!
In other news, both schools are selling Holiday Wreaths for $20 each for the next week. Sale ends Friday, November 13th. Don't miss this chance to have a lovely handmade wreath to spruce up your home for the holidays.
Finally, all Thunder and Advanced Band students are invited to perform at the Firwood Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 21st from 10:55-11:30. I sent home a slip for students to fill out and return if they are interested in this extra opportunity.
Thank you, and we will see you soon!
