Meetings for parents of beginning string students (4th thru 6th grades) take place at Patwin Elementary at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week (Sept. 7-9), and at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon at Patwin. Beginning band student (5th & 6th grade) parents will meet at Emerson JH at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept. 7 & 8) next week.
This program is not only about learning a musical instrument. With elementary experience, students can move into junior high and high school music groups where they feel involved and connected to a program that meets daily. It is about developing experience working in an environment of teamwork and performance. And it is about feeling accomplishment for dedicated work.
Thanks to dedicated staff, volunteers, local voters and taxpayers, Davis has been very fortunate to retain its school music program during these tough economic times. It continues to be a program that is growing in numbers and in talent. Please consider enrolling your child this year.
