Co-Op Student
Parkside would like to welcome Taylor Poirier, a co-op student from TOSH, who will be joining Ms. Gallant in the music room in the afternoons until the end of January
.We are so lucky to have her!
Elementary Choir
This choir has been working very hard and is sounding great so far! We will be performing on November 4, 2013 at 1PM at Parkside's Remembrance Day Assembly. Students will be required to wear their choir uniform that day (any combination of black and white clothing).
Just a reminder that there are video links as well as lyrics linked to the
choir page of this blog. Please encourage your child to use these resources for at-home practice.
Primary Choir
This choir has also been working very hard and is sounding wonderful! We are having so much fun with our songs. Just a reminder that you can listen to both of our songs on the
choir page of this blog. Please encourage your child to use these links for at-home practice.
Show Bands
Show bands are coming along nicely. Many students would benefit from more at-home practice. Please see the
Show Band page of this blog for video links, tutorials, and sheet music. Please remember that rehearsal days are not time for individual instruction, as this time is meant for band practice. If students are struggling with any parts, please encourage them to come see me before rehearsal day and I will be happy to help them out.
Christmas Concert
Just a note that our Christmas concerts this year will be held on Wednesday, December 4th, 2013. Grades 3-6 will perform at 1:00PM, and Grades K-2 will perform at 6:00 PM. Both concerts will be held in Parkside's gymnasium. There will be a donation jar at the door in lieu of admission fees. All proceeds from the donation jar will go directly towards the purchase of instruments and resources for Parkside's music program.
I will soon be posting song lyrics and video links for each class's Christmas concert songs so that students can practice for the concert from home. Stay tuned!!
