Weekly Instrumental Update

Dear Instrumental Music Community,

Students are busy preparing auditions for next year’s ensembles. All auditions need to be heard by Friday January 15th.

At this time students should have their solo and/or ensembles chosen for the contest on March 6th. As always, if you need any help preparing your music please ask Mr. Baum or Mr. McOlgan.

The Jazz Band students are working hard to prepare for their performance at Hackneys on January 27th. Be sure to invite all your friends, relatives, and neighbors to this jazz filled evening.

We would like to welcome Andy Macaione to the RB music department. Mr. Macaione will be student teaching at RB and Hauser simultaneously through early May.

Maggie McLaughlin just purchased a new cello, congratulations. Step up instruments are crucial to improving tone.

Congratulations to Alex Lutz who was accepted to Belmont University in Nashville Tennessee. While there, Alex hopes to purse a degree in music business.

Musically yours,

Mr. Baum and Mr. McOlgan
