December events

December is a great time for music here in the ERSD! We have three outstanding concerts in the next two weeks, and we invite you to join us and support these students, their hard work, and all that they have already accomplished. Concerts are:

• This Monday, December 9: 7-12 Instrumental Concert. HS Band, JH Band, HS Jazz Band, JH Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, and Celtic/Róisín Dubh under the direction of Mark Gowman
• Monday, December 16: Elementary Band & Choral Concert. Intermediate Band, 5-6 Choir, Elementary Jazz Band, 3rd Grade Choir, and 4th Grade Choir under the direction of Lindsey Borden, Mykel Sapienza, and John Palocy.
• Wednesday, December 18: 7-12 Choral Concert. HS Chorus, Select Choir, and Junior High Choir under the direction of John Polvino.

Next Saturday, December 14, several of our music groups will also be performing as part of the East Rochester Christmas Festival. 

We hope to see you!

Photo opportunity for HS parents...

The 2012 HS Band

I want to let you know that tomorrow we will be taking a group picture of the combined HS Band, Jazz Band, and Percussion Ensemble just before the concert begins, at approximately 6:55 pm.

I invite you to bring your camera and take your own photo.

Concert Monday!

I am so excited about Monday's concert! The kids have all been working hard and are playing great. Some are the best I have ever heard in my time at ER.

Information was emailed to the address I have on file on November 25 and was also given to students. I will be out of the building at the NYSSMA conference from Thursday afternoon through the weekend. Any last-minute questions, please contact me via email or the contact button on the website.
