'Hello everyone,
What an odd ending to the school year. I am sure you are experiencing many different emotions at this time. Many of you are sad you are ending the school year without saying goodbye to friends and teachers. Others are more excited about moving on to the Middle School. Honestly, I have mixed emotions as well. While I am happy you all are moving one step forward in your life’s journey, I am disappointed that I was not able to see you in person to celebrate your year’s accomplishments. As we began our music year, I know you thought you all would never be able to play well together as a group. Some of you struggled longer that others but in the end look what you accomplished. I encourage you to not let the end of the year end your musical career. Remember what you can do if you put your mind to it and begin 7th grade with a renewed enthusiasm for music. Stay healthy keep a positive attitude, and remember that your academic achievements have not been diminished one bit by this pandemic, just the celebration. YOU did it and the pandemic can never take that away from you! I will check up on you in Middle School Band and I look forward to hearing the great progress you are going to make. Until then, CONGRATULATIONS on your successes and continue to make music!
