4/2- 4/6


Congratulations to the outstanding work from the musicians, cast and crew of West Side Story.  In our six performances, we played for nearly 2,000 guests, including over 500 closing night alone!  What a great experience this has been!  Also, if you haven't seen this glowing review yet, you should really check it out.

Be sure to save Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28 on your calendar.  The 27th will be a joint performance with Castillero's Jazz Band and Chamber Orchestra and our Jazz Band and Orchestra.  Saturday we are hosting a festival for Music In the Parks.  Look for a volunteer planning meeting one evening after spring break so that parents, students and I can all be on the same page and we can run an outstanding event.

Students who have yet to turn in their money from the candy bars should do so right away.  I will pass out account statements to all students this week showing what money students may owe or may have credited at this point.  While some students have done very well with fundraising and have significant account credits, there are still a few students with lingering debt which must be paid.  If you have questions about this or need financial assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The second grading period of this semester ends this week and I am working to get caught up on grades for everyone.  With the new baby and the musical, some of these things have fallen behind where they should be- but all grades will be accurate prior to the time they are uploaded and sent home.  Keep watching as more info will be published in the grade book every day this week. Thanks for your understanding with this.
