Music News
The Winter Concert is only one week away.  It will be held on Thu, Dec 11th at 6:30 p.m.  Every student in the school will be involved so please make every effort to be here.  The students should arrive at school no later than 6:15 p.m.  K-4 students will meet in their classrooms and the 5-8 grade students will meet in the music room.  The concert dress is just something presentable for a concert.  Please let me know if your child will not be able to participate since there are many solos and important parts for the night.  If your band student is participating in the Brooksville concert, they need to be there by 6:15 p.m. to meet in the music room off from the gym.  I’m looking forward to seeing you next Thursday and Tuesday for some.             - Mrs. Whittaker
