Festival was a Success!

Thank you for all the hard work preparing for our first Spring Festival.  Every person who was supposed to play on Saturday came and played their two pieces for the judges.  65 came to be heard by our two judges. Some students were working up until the very last minute and their hard work was worth it.  If you were not happy with your performance score, now is the time to work very  hard for the recital on May 18th.  Parents and grandparents were very helpful to bring students to play and they shared in successes too.  We are lucky to have their support.

There are still 4 students who have arranged to play their songs at another time due to conflicts on Saturday.  Be ready  to show off your skills in the next week.

Our recital piece will likely be one of your festival songs.  If you are were not able to participate, you should have your song assigned by now.

Trivia:  Spring is in the air.  Even with music, spring is everywhere.  The song, "Walking on Sunshine",  was performed by Katrina and the Waves.  When was it first performed ?  What presidential candidate used that song in the campaign this past year?   (1 sticker)

Another song very different song about spring was " It might as Well be Spring".  Which musical presented the song and  what year? . (1 sticker)

What is meant when someone says they have spring fever?  (give it your best description)
