The chocolate sale turn in has been moved to Monday (thanks to the snow day).

Hope to see everyone at the concert on Tuesday at 7:00pm. The concert has been cancelled due to the weather.  All activities at the high school are cancelled after 5:00pm.  We invite you to come and hear the bands at Sylvania Southview on March 8th for the OMEA District Adjudicated Event.

Have a great week.

Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.

Congratulations to the students who participated in this year’s Solo and Ensemble AE!  The students ended up earning 60 Superior (I) Ratings and 14 Excellent (II) Ratings.  When I looked at results from last year, we had as many Superior Ratings this year as we had TOTAL EVENTS from last year!!  What an accomplishment.  Special thanks to Mr. Krichbaum and Mr. Hoffman for their work with the students on their events.  Congratulations to all!

Quote of the Week

My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being…When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups…I want to speak to their souls.

John Coltrane
