MUSIC NOTES
November 30, 2009
The Limon Band and Choral students
will be receiving a packet of 10 tickets each to sell for our upcoming Chili
Supper and Bake Sale coming up on December 8th. Each student is
asked to sell 10 tickets to assist us in having a successful fund raiser for the
Music Parent’s organization. We also ask each student to give to their
parents the bake sale note that is in their ticket packet that gives instruction
for the Music Parents’ Bake Sale held the same night. Each family is
asked to bring 2 baked items for the Bake Sale that is held during the Chili
Supper. Please assist your child to take care of these tickets as they are
very valuable and is the student’s financial responsibility if lost. The
students are asked to turn in either the money for the tickets sold or the
unsold tickets on the 8th of December. This is a great
fund raiser and we appreciate everyone’s help.
This reminds us all to mark our calendars for the Winter Concert on
December 8 that will include the Senior Band, Cadet Band and HS/MS Choir,
plus the Limon Children’s Choir joining the HS/MS Choir for the choirs’ grand
finale. The concert is free for admission and begins after the Chili
Supper at 7:30 p.m. Students in the
LCC and the Beginning Band will have special designated seating as they are our
honored guests!
The Limon Elementary Christmas program is Tuesday, December 15 at 7:00 pm
in the Activities Building. A note
has gone home explaining the details to include what students are expected to
wear. (In short, nice clothes.)
This program will feature the 4th grade recorder players, the
Fifth Grade Beginning Band, the Limon Children’s Choir, and all elementary
students in grades K-5.
Students will be receiving a notice of what their band bills are coming
up in the next two weeks. Please do your best to update you child’s band
bill so that our accounts can balance at the end of the month of December.
The Senior Band and HS/MS Choir will be performing at the Parade of
Lights on December 18th this year again. The band and choir do
not march but join together for a great time of caroling with the Limon
community. This is also part of the grade for the students of the Senior
Band and HS/MS Choir. The LCC is also welcome to join in leading the
caroling. More information will come
later.
The Limon Children’s Choir will rehearse on December 8, but NOT on
December 15, the day of the elementary program.
Choir rehearsals will resume on Tuesday, January 19.
Mrs. McCallum will re-audition students if they are interested in joining
the LCC for 2nd semester. Current
members need not audition again.
Fourth graders are busy learning 3 challenging songs for their December
concert. Parents:
Thanks for your support by encouraging them to practice.
Ideally, students should have a focused practice session about 15 minutes
at least 5 days a week.
Mark your calendars now for January 7 for the MS and HS Eastern Colorado
Honor Band Festival in Bennett. Many
of our talented, hard-working students made it into these bands so plan now on
coming to their concert on January 7.
If you have any questions or
concerns, please give us a call: Mr.
Greg Scherrer @ 719-775-2350 x 374, or Mrs. McCallum @ 719-775-2350 x 313.
