We have come to the final stretch before the concert!

Merry December to all. We now only have 2 short weeks before the concert, then everything comes down to the wire. The band has been working diligently over the past few weeks to prepare the 3 pieces we have in store for you. There is also a surprise small group which will be performing one extra piece for your enjoyment. The beginners had an interesting rehearsal on November 24 when they all played together. They had their first experience playing together and it actually went rather well. I feel you will all be very pleased by their progress thus far this year.
As for the 4th and 5th grade music enrichment classes, we have finished up with the theory tests, and have finally (especially in their minds) moved on to the recorder. We will most likely be concentrating on recorder for the next couple of months. This way we can get into some of the notes they don't know yet, as well as getting into improvising on recorders.
As you can see, there are many exicting things happening in the next couple of weeks here at PCA. Our concert is on December 17, 2008 at 7pm in the gym. Concert dress is black bottoms (pants, socks, shoes) with white top. Boys are encouraged to wear a tie, while girls may feel free to wear a dress, as long as it is not too busy and stays within the black/white dress code.
I look forward to seeing your reactions to the concert and wish you all a very Happy Holidays!
