Centerburg Music Department

  Week of Nov. 30th - Dec. 4th... Jazz Band:  There will no jazz band practice on Monday evening, Nov. 30th.  We will only have one more practice before we record the jazz band portion of our holiday concert after school on Monday, Dec. 14th at 3:30 PM .  We will try to sneak one more practice in sometime!  PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR COACHES ABOUT MONDAY, DEC. 14TH AT 3:30 PM.  THE RECORDING SHOULD ONLY TAKE A HALF HOUR OR SO! Band & Choir Holiday Concert Recordings:   The school has hired Mr. Alex Thompson to professionally record both the middle and high school portions of the holiday concert.  Most recordings (other than Middle C Choir, Jazz Band and possibly 7th grade band)  will take place during the school day, and a recording schedule will follow early this coming week!  "Virtual" students [if permitted by their folks] will be asked to join us only for the recording of the musical groups in which they take part.  

  Happy Thanksgiving! I think that this year we have some things to be especially thankful for.  Thank God our little hamlet of Centerburg has only seen a tiny portion of what has been transpiring nationwide with this horrible plague, and we thank the guy up above for protecting us and letting us continue to make music together!  Being "close" to the worst of the pandemic, I think we can can see a silver lining to this very dark cloud in the very near  future, and want all the music students and their families to know that we music directors are doing as best we can to keep everybody safe and healthy in the meantime!   God Bless! ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1.  No Jazz Band Rehearsal this Monday! 2.  No after school or evening music lessons this week! See ya on the rebound! 🦃
