Fall Concert, Jazz Concert, and Spooky Parade

We have our Fall Concert coming up next Thursday, October 28 at 7:00 p.m.  It will be held in the Gymnasium at the Junior High School building.  The Students have been working hard all fall to prepare this program and we think that we have an enjoyable evening planned.  Of course, everyone is invited to come and hear the students sing and play.  The Students are asked to come early, to warm-up for their part of the program.

The following day, the HS Jazz ensemble will be playing a program at both the grade school and junior high.  The grade school will be in the morning with the junior high performance in the afternoon.


Then, on Saturday is the annual Halloween festivities in downtown Nauvoo.  The parade begins at 6:00 p.m.  Our music students will be participating in the Spooky Parade and will gather at the Grade School at 5:30 p.m.  A bus will pickup the Warsaw students wanting to participate at 5:00 in front of the Warsaw High School Old Gym.  The students will be dressed in their favorite Halloween character for the parade and will be performing appropriate "Spooky" music.

Students are selected for District Concert Groups

Congratulations to Devon, Ariel, and Carlie for being accepted into the IMEA District Band, Orchestra, and Chorus respectively.  When you see them, give them a "Good Job!"  They will participate in these organizations on Saturday, 6 NOV 2010 in Macomb.  Rehearsals begin around 8:00 am.  So we will have the detailed information availble to the students by the end of this week.  Congratulations again to the three.

Band Night successful

We had our annual Band Night on Monday, October 4.  We had about 12 families attend.  So far, we have 10 new band students who have joined the program.  If you weren't able to come to Band Night with your 4th grade student and still want them in the Band Program, please contact Mr. Dowell at the Grade School for the information packet and registration form.  The classroom teachers have been given copies of the packet for students who missed the program as well.

We still have room for more new band students.  So, if you are in 4th, 5th, or 6th grade and want to play in the band, you can still get enrolled.  Just see Mr. Dowell at the Grade School.
