Last Week of School...

Congratulations for making it to the end of the year!

We will NOT need our instruments for the last week of school. If you haven't taken your instrument home, you will need to do so Monday after school.  There are NO private lessons the last week of school.  THEREFORE, EVERYONE MUST ENTER THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL for the last week.  THANKS!

All students, bring your tickets on the last day of school for the raffle drawing we will have!!!

Wind Ensemble Trip

We're glad to say that we've been able to reschedule both our 6 Flags visit and Medieval Times dinner for May 30, 2009.  We will leave early that morning and return late that evening, so there will be no overnight aspect to the trip, but we think that it will be something that the kids will enjoy.  A  new trip packet will be coming home (and be posted here as well) on Monday 5/18 with details on the itinerary and refund options.  


Thanks for your patience while we work through all of these details.  There are a lot of "moving parts" with a trip like this, and we've finally been able to get them all to work together!

Many thanks!

Thanks to everyone who made Tuesday night such a special evening. I'm so proud of how all of the bands performed and am truly touched by your kindness, generosity and skill at keeping secrets!

Thanks too to everyone for their efforts on "Par for the Course."  I can't imagine a more perfect way to conclude this year than to celebrate together with music - thank you for sharing the concert with us and for sharing your children with me!

I feel very privileged to have been a part of the Murchison/Anderson community for the last 12 years and look forward to many great things to come.
