Incoming Middle School Students Experience Music Options
Posted by Dr. Andie Webb on 5/22/2023As our elementary students prepare to move to middle school, exciting options await them in the music department. As part of a promotion for our middle school band, orchestra and choir, each building hosted a group of fifth grade students from their feeder school and shared instrument types, sounds and a small concert from each section. Our fifth grade students were very excited to travel to their next home and meet the staff in our amazing music departments!
During the presentations, the music directors, counselors, principals and even Dr. Greene addressed incoming fifth graders and shared their welcome and enthusiasm for the new sixth graders. Thank you to our elementary and middle school administrators for supporting this visit and to our fifth grade and middle school music staff who made the events so successful! We look forward to hearing all the joyful sound's from our sixth graders next year.
