Post recital information/reminders

Mr. Swisher, Mr. Gaskin, and I would like to thank all of you for your support this semester. Thank you for sharing your children with us. All the groups did well and we hope that everyone enjoyed seeing and hearing the groups perform. We continue to be incredibly blessed with great families and kids!

A few reminders: Second semester starts on January 7th.
I have had several inquiries about joining our group at the semester. If you know of others interested in our program, we can take new students in all the groups but beginning band and orchestra. (exception to that are students that already play an instrument and want to be in a beginning instrumental group)

Always refer to this website/blog for information, updates, cancellations due to weather, etc. That will be my main way of communicating with the group.

If anyone took photos that we could post on the site, and would like to share them, please email them to me. I forgot my camera on Friday and was hoping to get pictures of all the groups that day.

I noticed that both directors were sampling the "treats" that were given to them before ever leaving the building on Friday. I let both of them know that it is okay to not eat everything in one day :o)
Thanks to all of you that contributed, I know they enjoyed them.

A beginning band percussion player left their xylo after the recital on Friday. It is in the church office.

We wish you a blessed Christmas and healthy New Year!

See you all in January!
