Excellent Summer

Congratulations to everyone involved in the summer program this year. Our final performances went very well, and I heard many positive comments yesterday and today from a variety of members of our community. I would like to thank everyone who played, helped load and unload, and was any kind of a part of yesterday's Children's Arts Festival. What a great day!

I guess we'll be back to school before we realize it. Until then, have a safe and wonderful summer!

Mr. Taylor's Socks

Many students have been looking at Mr. Taylor's feet this summer and commenting on his fashion sense. With his permission, this has become the topic of this week's poll.

Children's Arts Festival Performance Details

A sheet will be handed out at next week's rehearsals, but here are the details for July 11 performances at the Children's Arts Festival...

Schedule:
10:30 - Mr. Taylor's Small Ensembles
11:00 - Junior Band (Mr. Taylor)
11:30 - Youth Band (Ms. Philipsen)
12:00 - Summer Jazz (Ms. Philipsen)
12:30 - Ms. Philipsen's Small Ensembles

A few small ensembles may be sprinkled in around the larger group performances depending on how many choose to perform on July 11.

All performances will take place at the band shell in the center of the Centerville Square (in front of the Court House). Please plan on being on the lawn near the shell 15 minutes before your first performance.

Dress for this performance will be casual, please wear school-appropriate summer clothing.

These performances will conclude our summer program.
