To all of my readers,
I hope you all have a wonderful summer. I know I already have a busy one planned!

I am leaving for my first cruise ever (to the Bahamas) on Monday! (Cross your fingers that I don't get sea sick!!!) i'll have to post some photos when I get home. Then the week I come home I start taking my grad school classes again. I'm taking 2 classes at Rhode Island College, my home away from home. Also, my friend Mae is teaching at a music camp in Maine so I'll be taking over her flute studio at the Grand Piano for a month. I met a couple of the students yesterday and I think it will be a good time. Once Mae comes home, we'll also be working on a chamber music program with the flute students at the Grand Piano, working with flute duets, trios, quartets, and more!

For those of you who have not heard, I will be teaching both chorus and band at both NHS and NMS next year. I'm very excited about starting fresh in the fall. I'm sure many things will be different for both me and for you and I'm looking forward to working together to have a great music department! I hope all of you find a way to make some music this summer and get ready for a great year in 2009-2010!

If any of you are in the mood to paint and clean (who isn't???) we will be painting the music room at the high school on both June 29 and June 30 at 12:30. (Because of that grad school schedule I can't get here any earlier which stinks!) Lets start of the year with an awesome-looking room!

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE!!!!!

GRADUATION!!!



Just a reminder to all chorus members:

We are singing at NHS graduation this Friday night (June 5th)!!! Graduation starts at 7 pm but please be at the Comcast Center stage area by 6:30 pm. (Account for traffic!) We are wearing all black (pants or dresses or skirts and shirts, plus black shoes!)

Graduation rehearsal is during the day as your all should know by now. Make sure you have your permission slip so you can actually come with us! We are leaving at 11:00 a.m. Please meet me in the auditorium at 10:45! (Right after 2nd period)Bring something to eat because we will be there until the end of the school day and we'll have a lot of down time.

To our seniors- we miss you already! Congrats and good luck on everything in your future!
