Instrumental Music Update

Thank you to everyone who wrote such nice letters and emails in response to our Spring Concert last Thursday. The evening was splendid, and the kids sounded fantastic! Mr. McOlgan was especially moved by all the parents and students who took the time to meet his mother that night.


Our field trip to see “Working” is Wednesday. Students will leave school 5th hour and should therefore be prepared to eat lunch at school. If you haven’t turned in your permission slips please turn it in A.S.A. P.

The Apollo awards will be held on May 26th in the Main Gym and not on May 19th. Please adjust your calendars.

Congratulations to Joe Wilkinson who played an outstanding audition at Elmhurst College. After the audition Joe was informed by the school that they really wanted him and are prepared to match any scholarship from another school.

Sincerely,
Mr. Baum and Mr. McOlgan

Thank you to all who attended Jazzapalozza V. It was a great evening of jazz featuring guest artist Sam Lauritsen. Sam is a RB graduate who performed on the very first Jazzapalozza and is now finishing his degree in Jazz Performance at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts. Both RB Jazz groups sounded great. Thank you to everyone who brought treats to share, especially Mrs. Baum’s lemon squares.

The Jazz Groups will be featured at This Must Be the Place on May 1st. The Jazz Ensemble will open the evening at 6:00 PM followed by the Jazz Band. Please call 630-243-1500 for reservations.

The Jazz Band will open for the Brass Tracks Big Band at Hackneys in Palos Heights on May 4th. Their set will begin at 7:00.

Mark your calendars for the Apollo Awards which will be held on May 19th at 7:00 PM. All music students will perform, and we will honor our outstanding students.

Sincerely,

Mr. Baum and Mr. McOlgan
