Hello Encore Families,
We are off to a wonderful start. It is great to have such wonderful families in our group, we are blessed to have you all!
A few things to mention:
First - we will meet at another location this coming Friday, October 3. The
Morris Center has an event and needs the church that day, so we will
meet at Community Bible Church - here is the link to get directions: http://community-bible.org/home/visit-us/
We
will only meet at this location next week, and will be back to the
Morris Center the following week. Please check with families that you
know, to make sure they know of this change. We don't want to leave
anyone out of the loop.
Speaking of the loop -
our band blog
is the place to check for updates, new info, recital info, weather and
any cancellations we may encounter. For those of you that travel in a
long distance, it would be best to check it each week before you leave
for rehearsals.
Second - It would be helpful if the kids would bring their own personal water bottles to rehearsals. If the kids stay for multiple groups, bringing a snack might help them stay focused. We want to not use paper products that the church has on hand, those are for church functions, not our group. There may be food and snacks in the church kitchen, but that food is not for us to eat.
Third - We are charging a copying fee for those in choir, recorder, guitar, music appreciation, and percussion ensemble. In the past, the director. The fees are: Choir $5.00, Percussion $3.00, Recorder $3.00, Guitar $5.00, and Music Appreciation $5.00. These fees are only paid in the fall,
Percussion Ensemble: If you are able to provide your student with a large white bucket, like the ones they use in the ensemble, that would be great. It can be brought to rehearsals and taken home each week. If they have a folding music stand, that would also be helpful to bring. Some of our buckets and stands are missing, some are damaged.
And finally, we are planning to have a Christmas recital. An annoucement will be made once a location has been found.
The directors and I are thoroughly enjoying your kids, thank you for sharing them with us.
Blessings,
Martha
