The one thing that is never new about school is that the Spring makes the Fall seem like a leisure stroll. I sometimes blame this business on all what we refer to as the “spring testing season”. So now in school we have football season, basketball season and testing season….. gross!
However, I find that I have a tendency to plan my year as a musician so that in the fall I spend August September and October preparing for November and December. Then I come back to school in January and have some how managed to plan something major in every available month.. So here is the run down of things that I already know will happen
January 25th – 4th grade recorder concert – pretty light on the concert as they won’t begin learning recorder until Jan 4, but I bet by the end of 2.5 weeks we can play a couple of notes. We shall see what develops
February 20 something – Go Texas! Day – Grade level sing along and square dance
March something – 2nd grade show – I’ll start in it the 1st week of January because interruptions are on the way between now and then.
April – constant testing
May – Choir concert – choir begins in January and goes until May
May – Choir Festival – still haven’t chosen the music for this yet
May – Kindergarten graduation – much bigger deal than I would like it to be…. must figure out a way to tone it down
May – 5th grade graduation – I need to write a song for this to work toward a school song selection process within the next couple of years.
So Spring – HERE WE COME!
