Audition results are in early! Thank you, parents, for taking the time to bring your child to the auditions, and thank you students for practicing and being willing to overcome the nerves and audition to become a part of the Elementary Music Program.

Congratulations on the following students who made the groups listed below. Each parent will be informed when your child will have practice meetings. I need to work out the schedules with the elementary teachers, so that these practice meetings will not interfere with any academic classes.

  1. Do the kids need to stay after school for practice or will they be practicing during the school day?

    1. The music program will be incorporated into the school day. Each class will not interfere with any academic classes, but they will be during school hours. Only approved private lessons will be after school.
