Well, things have been rather hectic around here because of the snow. I am happy to report, however, that the bands and general music classes have been doing just fine. We have 5 students participating in this years Kent County Honors Band. The first rehearsal is March 8, with the others being the 22, 26, and 27. The concert is on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at Lake Forest High School at 7pm. The PCA Select Ensemble will also be participating in the Junior High Band Festival at Caesar Rodney High School on March 31, 2010.

On the band end of things, there have been many great strides made. We are playing through some very rewarding music which the students have taken a great liking towards. It looks to be a very good concert which I am sure both parents and students alike will enjoy.

On the general music side of things, the students have been continuing their study of recorders in 4th and 5th grade, while those in 2nd and 3rd have been learning/reviewing musical rounds.

All in all, things have been going well in the Providence Creek Academy Band Department, and I look forward to seeing how the rest of the year will pan out.

Yours in Music,
Michael Howell
