Successful Beginner Band Demo Performance

Thanks to these great musicians for speaking and playing so well at the beginner band demo. I received a lot of feedback from other teachers stating how impressed they were with how articulate and knowledgable our students were. Great work!

Performing Arts Shirt Orders

Performing Arts Shirt Orders

All 5th-8th grade performing arts students will wear a WCS Performing Arts shirt  on concert days and to field trips and other organized events. These looked great in past years!      

    You do not need to buy a new shirt if you still have one from last year that fits. If you need a larger size, or are new to 5th-8th grade band and/or chorus, please order your shirt here and send in payment (cash or check to WCS) by Friday, October 30, 2015. Shirts are $8 and financial support may be requested.  Questions? Please check in with Karla Kennedy or Kim Thompson.

Concert Band Lessons

     Did you know that most Concert Band students have lessons on Wednesdays? We lay the foundation for our individual instrumental skills and offer the most individual attention and differentiated instruction in these lessons. Most students have established their routine and are attending lessons.  There are a few students working on finding a system or strategy to remember to attend and/or check the schedule in the morning.

     Attendance is documented in Jupiter Grades weekly for parents to see. Parents, please ask your child  how they are doing managing this schedule and let Mrs. Thompson know if you need some  help creating strategies to remember to attend lessons. 

Wind Ensemble News

Friday, 9/25's rehearsal and lessons are canceled.
Next week's schedule will be available soon.

Symphonic Band News

All Symphonic Band members will use the book, Tradition of Excellence, Book 1 this year. This is the same book we started as beginners last year. If you child has lost their book, please replace it so they can practice at home.

The book can be purchased through Ellis Music as well as many online businesses that sell music supplies or books. Please contact Kim Thompson if financial assistance is needed.
