It meets before school - no transportation provided. 5-6th grade meet twice a week before school, 7-8 meet 3 times a week before school, plus if you're in jazz band, it's an extra day. No wonder Matt didn't want to continue - he hates mornings.appleberrycottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208267619856203704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524213563424039669.post-15662905045465744882009-02-01T14:50:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:50:00.000-08:00Ah...those early band and orchestra concerts!

In our school district, band, orchestra and choir are graded classes that meet during school every day beginning in sixth grade, and they also miss one of their classes one day a week in junior high for a small group lesson. Even the kids that don't practice much improve with the lessons and playing time. In high school they are ready to tackle more difficult music. Next month Kate's honors choir is joining the honors orchestra to do the full score of Mozart's Requeim. I'm really looking forward to that concert!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524213563424039669.post-2802235642503617672009-02-01T13:23:00.000-08:002009-02-01T13:23:00.000-08:00Seeds and gardens?
