Hello and Welcome to The Wonderful World of Music!
This year we are excited to have an interactive white board in the Specialty Room, as well as steel drums! We are also planning on putting on a musical entitled ‘Santa Goes Green’. Auditions will be held on the following dates:
• Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will be Tuesday September 14th
• Reindeer, Elves, and Toy Soldiers will be Thursday September 16th
• Snowmen will be Tuesday September 21st
• Evergreen Trees and Grandma will be Thursday September 23rd
• Auditions for singing solos will be September 28th
These parts are available to ALL elementary and Middle School students. We will also need a backstage crew for decorating, sound, lighting, set changes, etc. Rehearsals for this will be Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 12:30-1:00pm in the Specialty Room. Rehearsals for this will begin October 5th. Please e-mail Miss Ali if your child would like a script to practice at home – ms.ali@mbts.ky
We will also have an Upper Elementary/Middle Years choir which will be rehearsing on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Friday’s from 12:30-1:00 in the Specialty Room. Rehearsals begin September 20th. This is open to students in Upper Elementary and Middle Years and there is no cost.
The World Drumming Club is also new this year. The cost for this club is $10 per student per class, and we will practice Friday’s from 4:00-4:30pm. We will be playing congas, doumbeks, hand percussion and even steel drums! We will be learning and playing a variety of styles of world music such as calypso, African and Latin American. I’m really looking forward to this new club!
I look forward to an exciting year with your children in music!
