Vocal Music Notes #2.2

What a great week! The clubs and choruses started and were well attended despite the lack of an activity bus. Students are welcome to join this week! If you have ever wondered what goes on at Actors' Studio, be sure to look at the pictures below. Starting next week, ACTORS' STUDIO is moving to Tuesdays!! STAGE DANCE will meet on Mondays. There is an activity bus next week!!

The Vocal Power and Music Theater Workshop classes' performances were wonderful! The 2024 All School Musical was announced today! See below for more information!

Have a fabulous three day weekend! 🎶 Mrs. Broeker

The Vocal Power Class completed the "Harmony" week with terrific performances! Next week they start their Country unit. The Music Theater Workshop classes are workshopping a song, trying to "sell" their vision of which musical they want to reenact. The Music 6 Class is created Rhythm compositions and investigated rhythm and notation from Africa and Japan! Sixth graders need to search for their Soprano recorders.

7/8 Singers meets on Thursday from 3:00 - 4:00

For all members who will be participating in Cross Country, Basketball, or another conflicting Fall activity, there is a morning version from 7:30 - 8:00 a.m. on Fridays before school!
