Fall Festival!

It's that time for Fall Festival again!  This week Breakfast Club has been hard at work preparing for our performance at the festival this year.  We're playing a piece that was arranged by Kathleen Swayze, the orchestra teacher at ZMS, and we're very excited!  We perform at 2:30 tomorrow, so if you're out and about, come support the ZWMS orchestra!

After school club for the 5th grade students has also begun this week.  We had our first rehearsal after school on Wednesday, and I think it went really well!  Many of the students are very excited to play their instruments, and it's always good to have a couple extra rehearsals with me!  We meet every Monday and Wednesday after school until 3:30, so if your child is interested in participating, just let me know!

We also learned that we will have an added concert in February with the acclaimed pop/rock electric violinist Mark Wood!  If you don't know who he is, I would suggest looking him up online and checking out some of his videos, they are quite remarkable!  We are planing on performing with every orchestra member in Zionsville!  It's going to be HUGE!  More details are following shortly!

I also look forward to seeing all of you next Wednesday at 7pm for our first of several lessons with Mr. Plewa!  Meet here at 7pm to learn how to play the instrument your child plays every day!  We will have a one hour lesson, and in two weeks we will do it again!  RSVP via email to me if you would like to participate.  It is $5 for an hour lesson!  See you there!
