Thank you Chorus!

Thank you very much to our chorus, band and orchestra students for a wonderful Fine Arts Festival. I have had a wonderful year with the chorus am very proud of their work all year. They were so energetic even though it was early in the morning.

We will not be having any more chorus rehearsals this year. Good luck to all of the 5th grade students. I hope that the 4th graders will continue on in chorus next year!

The students need to be at school at 6:30 so that they can be ready to be on stage at 7:00. All of the students will be singing, dancing and playing instruments. The students have written their own speaking parts to explain to our families what they have learned in music this year. I look forward to seeing all of our 2nd grade families at the concert!
