WOW! Summer lessons have started off with a bang! What a couple of days so far! I'm exhausted after today's record attendance. Congratulations to everyone who has so far met the first summer challenge. (If your lesson isn't until tomorrow, check out the challenge in the last posting.) The challenge is still good through tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get to hear a few more scales! Everyone who has crossed off one or more scale or rudiment will also be getting their scale club chart posted in the HJH band room next week to start filling up for the 08/09 school year.
Thanks also to all of the wonderful high school students who are helping with youth band (and all of the summer groups for that matter). I appreciate that you're giving up part of your summer to help us out! Things wouldn't go as smoothly without you!
Don't forget that my lessons next week will be a little mixed up. Wednesday lessons will be on Tuesday and Thursday lessons will be on Friday. I'm taking a class in Pella on teaching brass instruments, and looking forward to getting some new ideas to bring back with me to share with our brass players. There will be another posting on Thursday or Friday with a challenge for week two of summer lessons, so check up on that when you get a chance.
Municipal Band concert will be tomorrow night at 8:00 in the band shell on the square. Hope to see you there for good music and an ice cream social! (Weather permitting, of course!)
