The Last week in October Is here

October has been a long month, with five Fridays and five Saturdays. That is okay, since the contest season is beginning now. Next Saturday will be the all boys recital at Jents at 10:30. Jonathan will be playing. Hymn Festival contestants are sounding wonderful and working hard. I will pass out the practice theory tests starting this week too.

The Amazing Race has two in 1st place: Madeline and Pierce are both in Antarctica. Other results are: 2nd-Grant 3rd-Ryan B. 4th-Bryson and Kaleigh. The best thing about this competition has been the hard work. On one leg, students have to create a game for music. Kaleigh and Madeline have gone above and beyond the call. Their games are "amazing".

Trivia question: The composer who was nicknamed "the Waltz King" has a birthday on Tuesday. Who was he and what were 2 of his very famous compositions? ($2)
