We will have student teacher with the band program next semester, his name is Robert Taylor, he graduated from Oregon high school and attends UW Platteville. I’m looking forward to him working with all of the high school ensembles next semester.
Last thing I want to ask is if there is someone who is interested in repairing our rusted and damaged black music stands. They need to be sanded and painted with spray paint. I’ll supply the paint. Let me know if you’re interested, we have maybe 10-15 stands that need paint. Sounds like a fun winter break project for a high school student. =)
It’s my pleasure to look forward to another great semester of some more music making with the kids, it brings me great joy. Merry Everything and Happy Always!
