Dear Concert Band 2008-2009 Members,

Thank you all for a wonderful year. It has been my pleasure to watch you all develop and grow as musicians this year.  Thank you for your amazing performances at the winter concert, spring concert, and Hershey Park festival.  Thank you for all the morning rehearsals.  Even though they started early,  time and time again you showed me your dedication and professionalism.  I will miss this group next year and it has been an amazing journey.  Have a great summer and keep checking the blog!

Thank you all again,

Mr. Heffentrager

P.S.  Remember that lessons will meet until the end of the year to complete your end of the year assessments.

CB Needs a Slogan!

May 13th, 2009

As we come closer to the end of our year, I am looking for a slogan that represents us.  A phrase that represents the work we do, our character core values, and makes you proud when you say it. The Concert Band is a group that I am very proud of this year and you should be too.  Post some suggestions and we will take a vote !!!!

 

Can’t wait to see your ideas!!
