Most  band students should have your instruments with you so plese take them and play at least a couple of times a week. I realize that you don't have your band folders with you but many of you might possibly have your blue beginner book somewhere at home. If you do, play some songs out of that. There is also free sheet music available online if you search.

Chorale members, continue to sing songs from "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown". You should have your lyric sheets with you and you can sing a long with the soundtrack which is on YouTube. We will pick up rehearsals when we return.

3rd & 4th graders, please continue to play your recorders. The music we were working on should be in your folders. Watch sing a long videos as well.

2nd graders continue to practice your 1st Communion songs so that when we are able to have the ceremony you will know the music. Also, watching sing a long videos when you can.

Middle School students, Mr. Donnes should have all of the musicals ready for your viewing. Please watch as you can and answer the questions that you were given when you are able to. Remember those questions will be graded upon return to school.

I realize that you have a lot going on with your core subjects, so please let these music assignments be a little break from other things, but remember that everyone will be graded on the assignments given upon return to school.

I miss you all very much! Please try to put a little music in your life everyday and be ready to puick up where we left off very soon. Stay safe and sing, sing, sing! God bless!

Musically in God,
Mr. Weaver
