Welcome back all returning band students! I hope all of you had a wonderful and exciting summer and are ready for another year of band. Almost all of your schedules are set and I am looking forward to seeing you during class and rehearsal.
An important note. On your schedule the band rehearsal is listed as Encore! What a great way to define the gifted and talented students you are.
On Wednesday, February 11, 20 members of the 7 & 8 grade band will travel to Barnstable to participate in the C.C.M.E.A. middle school band work shop. Traveling with members of the Wixon band, these students will spend the day rehearsing with 90 other musicians from middle schools across the Cape. Following these rehearsal, they will perform a concert for 5th grade students from Barnstable. Congratulations to all those selected!
I apologize for the long absence but after some work with the IT department at Edublogs, we are back in business!

On May 9th, the 7 & 8 jazz band traveled to the Great East Music Festival where they performed the pieces “No Problema” and “Train Reaction”. The judges both agreed that the group’s performance was “Golden”.
After the festival performance the Jazz band, along with the Treble choir, enjoyed the offerings of Six Flags amusement park. The students, as expected, were well behaved and a pleasure to chaperone.
Congratulations to all who participated!
