5th Grade Students

This week, all 5th Grade students attended an orientation meeting for band, chorus, and orchestra classes for middle school. 

Lovinggood Students received a packet of information to share with their parents.  There is an important Band Meeting for any students considering enrolling in Band:  Wednesday, April 16th at 7:00pm at Lovinggood Middle School.  Students may return their band, chorus, or orchestra forms to Mrs. Swint, or take them to Lovinggood for the open house on the 16th. 

The Smitha Directors also passed out a flyer.  Students will have a chance to enroll in performing arts classes at the beginning of the fall year.  In the meantime, any questions, please email me, or Mr. Nichols, Ms. Smart, or Mr. Bailley. 

Tapp Students will also be getting information in the upcoming days about opportunities.  The Tapp/McEachern Cluster has one of the most active programs in the area.  I want to encourage all our students to consider getting involved with a performing arts program.  Research shows that students engaged in band, chorus, or orchestra have higher test scores, improved behavior, and develop skills they can use in business.  Recently a study showed that a majority of students who enrolled in medical school, had a performing arts background......

All 5th grade students should have completed another recorder test by spring break.  That means they have passed at least 2 tests this year.  Practice over break!  You must pass two this semester to achieve an "S' in music!   Have a great break!  Mrs. Swint
