Summer!

Hooray! Hooray! We're on our way! Our summer vacation starts today! (thanks, Berenstain Bears) OK, so it's only 10 weeks plus a 3 day weekend, but why would I put a damper on your excitement? While many students will try to spend as little time as possible thinking about the 2010-2011 school year, I will be working to equip a new orchestra and plan a school year for a great band program (no small task). I'll spend some time working for the family business, and plan to have at least a few adventures with Hannah and Melissa.

I have designed this blog to serve as a bridge for Pioneer Band & Orchestra students, families and others with an interest in following what's going in the Pioneer Instrumental Music department. This summer we'll have activities to raise the funds needed to outfit our new orchestra, so I'll let you know about that and I'd love to meet you there. Also, throughout the school year I will keep current class activities, performances, assignments and all the information you will need as a student, parent or fan of the Pioneer Band & Orchestra. You can also join our "Pioneer Band & Orchestra" group on Facebook to interact with other students, families, alumni and the Pioneer community.

Here's to a great summer! I look forward to meeting everyone in the coming months and a great 2010-2011 school year!
