MUSIC NEWS FOR THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!
Launch the media gallery 1 playerThe Elgin Public Schools music
department is ready for another school year! We have done
lots of things this summer and are ready to entertain and compete
musically again. The Community Birthday Calendar project was
a success. This summer, the band students delivered 300
calendars to their customers. Thank you so much for
continuing to support this project. If you have NOT received
your calendar, please call Mrs. Jones at school (843-2455).
We hope you will get a lot of use out of your calendar this
year!
The annual Lions Club Parade in
Norfolk will be held Saturday, September 27th at 10:00 a.m.
Elgin's Marching Eagles will participate in the event.
We will also compete in the Harvest of Harmony Parade on Saturday,
October 4th in Grand Island. We love to scan the crowds to
see someone from Elgin there cheering us on.
So.............travel to Norfolk and Grand Island for a great day
of music, floats and fun!!!
Midwest Music Center in Norfolk
will be at the lunchroom for the Cadet Band Instrument Display on
Thursday, September 11th at 7:00 p.m. This is for anyone in
fifth grade who is interested in joining band. Students will
have the opportunity to "pay monthly to own" their instrument
or perhaps find a good used instrument to buy. Be sure to
come and get a great start on something that you can do for the
rest of your life - and enjoy it!
The first Music Boosters Meeting
will be held on Monday, September 8th at 7:30 p.m. in the
lunchroom. Before the meeting, students will be checking out
band uniforms in the old gym for the school year. Mrs. Jones
would appreciate parents help in fitting the uniforms so that it
goes smoothly. Please come help out. Anyone who has a
student in band or choir is welcome to the meetings. We want
your input! This is a year for a band trip, so we would like
parents to come to the meetings to help in the planning stages of
the trip. Hope to see you then!
