I just wanted to put this up and say that if you have looked at fast direct in the last two or three days and saw your students grades, and they seemed so low, it was because I lost approximately 3 sets of practice cards!! AHH. I did find them, and I updated the grades. Please look to see if you student is all caught up before report cards come out!
Thanks

The time is drawing near....
For those who are still confused about the two different Christmas events taking place:
December 9th-6:30 Band and Handbell Concert. In the gym. Students report at 6:00.
December 16th- 6:30 Christmas Play- In the Sanctuary. All students report at 6:00.
A letter will be sent home tomorrow with all needed information! The letter will also be posted on my blog!
Primary Praise- We learned our gospel moves to our song today. Once we had all the students swaying in the same direction, we looked and sounded pretty nice! Glory Glory! Glory Hallelu!
Jonah's- Are singing in church this Sunday December 6th, at the 8:00 am service. (Along with the 8th grade bell choir) Bells be here at 7:20 and choir be here at 7:40.
Beginning Band- Jingle bells, Up on the housetop and Jolly old st. nick are coming along. We can't wait to perform for the first time!
Advanced Band- Take the time this weekend to really study and rehearse your music. PLEASE! Every instrument should be off that rack today and taken home!
7th grade bells- This is our last scheduled rehearsal before we play on the 9th. I am thinking that Mr. B is going to have to give something up for us to rehearse again next week! :)

Kazoos are cool!
What is the one thing that you don't want to do when you have a massive headache? Listen to anything, is the answer!! But...
Advanced Band had a writing assignment today, in class. They were to be video taped playing their Christmas songs, and then they had to analyze themselves playing. I had many students tell me that we sounded like a beginning band, not an advanced band. Gee... I wonder how we can make that better! Funny... the instrument rack here at school is still very full of instruments, even tho they have a concert next Wednesday!
Beginning Band, who sounds more like an advanced beginning band is doing very well on their songs for the concert on the 9th. I can tell that they are each practicing really hard and when we come together to play as a group, each person takes their own tempo, and we have a discombobulated mess! Once we played through it a couple times, we sounded pretty good! They only have two more rehearsals until next Wednesday's concert! (ps. our kazoos for the Dec. 16th play are coming along nicely!)
3rd graders took their final piano test today. Hopefully everyone got a 100%! Look for that test to come home next Wednesday!
8th grade bells seem to think that next week s concert is farther away than it is! We had a few issues today, but to Nick and Kody........rock on gentlemen! You both have never played so well! :) David, you are still on my list...

It's December?
Where did the time go???
NOTICE THIS CHANGE!!!!! On December 16th, we are having our Christmas program at 6:30-NOT at 7:00! Due to support help with the music, we needed to move the time! So please mark that on your calendars. Look for a note to go home from Mr. Kennedy and myself indicating the changes!
K, 1, 2 all used their music time wisely to sing their songs for the up coming Christmas program on the 16th. I am so excited for this afternoons rehearsal to see how it all starts to come together!
We had advanced band today instead of choir. Jonah's are singing in church this Sunday at 8:00, along with 8th grade bells, but they are ready with "Looking for the Light". Band needs more rehearsal time for their up coming December 9th concert.
6th grade bells are playing in chapel next Wednesday, if you want to come and here them-pre concert ready :) you are welcome to!
Good News choir is SO ready for the Christmas Program! Most of them have everything memorized! Way to go 3rd, 4th and 5th graders!! 5th grade band members also tried their kazoos during our song today and I think it went very well!!
Our first all school Christmas program practice was today, and I think it went very well for our first time! We made it over half way through and The Kings of Swing, was AWESOME!! Way to go swingettes and rappers!! :O)

Wednesday and Thursday
Wednesday
Advanced Band:
Not such a good day for the band today. Every time they get a new song (No matter the level of difficulty) they seem to SPAZ on me! If its not one thing, its another! We need to work on working things out for ourselves, instead of having me hand it to you all on a silver platter!
New songs today are: Away in a Manger and Mendelssohn. Both songs are very short, so for the concert, you will be playing them twice. Keep working on precise rhythms in Joyful and Triumphant. You heard the recording today...keep in mind all the things we discussed, and put them to good use!
Also: Practice cards have been late, or non exisitent from most of you. Of all times of the year, this is one of the most critical times to be practicing. Always remember that you are free to come into my room any day that I am here!
Beginning Band:
I was pleased with how well the beginners are progressing. While we still have alot to work on (Mostly talking in class and not paying attention) they are seemingly trying their best. We have to also work on all the questions that are being asked during class. (mostly questions that only benefit the individual, not the entire group). Individual questions are fine, but at a minimum!
Our songs for the CHristmas program on Dec 9th are # 38- Jingle Bells 78- Up on the Housetop #79- Jolly Old St. Nick. We also welcome Jared to the group! We have another trumpet!
3rd grade finally finished up the music ace lesson on learning how to read the notes on the piano. Their written test will be in 2 weeks, due to no school next Wednesday. (Keep all that info in there!!)
8th grade bells are going to be stunning at the Christmas Program! I can't wait for everyone to hear them. We still have a few issues to work out, but thankfully we still have two more rehearsals, a time to play in chapel and a time to play in church!
Thursday:
Primary Praise is singing this Sunday at the 11:00 A.M. service. PLease make sure you are there by 10:40 wearing white tops and dark bottoms. I will send a note home with the students tomorrow, if you don't read this! They will be singing a song about Noah and the Ark.
Jonah's wailers are still dilligently working on the music for the Christmas play, and strangely enough, I think they like the songs more than the little kids do! They are mad at me for giving them the ballads, (slow songs) though... ahh what are you going to do???!!!
Advanced Band had a little better day today. I think they got the idea that this is not the time to be asking silly questions about; reeds, music, whats a sharp?, I don't recognize this tune...etc etc! We recorded Joyful and Triumphant today, and realized what we really sound like. That may motivate them to practice more than anything else!
Beginning Band is still playing 38, 78, and 79. The drummers got their assignments today as to who is playing what instrument on what song. I believe they all wrote it down.
Oh 7th grade bells... you are getting jipped! We haven't had a class in what seems like a month, and so our Christmas songs are going to have to be easy and short! Technically speaking, we only have one more rehearsal (yikes!) Hopefully Mr. B can give us time to practice some more! Our songs are: Oh little town of Bethlehem, Oh come Oh come Emmanuel, and Angels from the realms of glory, which will be sung by the congregation and played by the 7th graders. We will make it through though! Don't worry!
