Dear Parents of 5th Grade Band and Violin Students,
It is our favorite time of year – Spring Concert Season! 😀 The band and violin students of my 3 assigned buildings will be performing concerts at their building for the school and parents. We are also performing a big concert in combination with area Middle Schools and Fordson High School. This is a great opportunity for our young musicians to see their future in music. They will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform with their future Music Director and fellow classmates. How exciting to have this opportunity.
Please encourage your young musician to practice daily at home. We all share the desire for each of our students to be successful. This will mean spending extra time on insturments at home so the music is very well rehearsed. Imagine their excitement when they are on the ‘stage area’ ready to perform their songs and they look out and see that special person sitting in the audience. What a proud moment for you, too, to see your child on the stage performing for you.
Attached is the PDF of the information packet which students will receive in class this next week. Please ask your child for the packet so you can fill it out and return it in a timely manner.
I look forward to meeting each one of you at these concerts.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Celeste Reed
Spring Concerts bring Excitement and Growth!
