It’s Time to Strike Up the Band!

Welcome Back!!

Welcome back to the start of 2019/20 school year! I am so excited to meet new students and see the “old” students I already know. I want to hear all about your summers!

One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is every year there is an opportunity for a new start.  A new part of our musical journey at Pound Middle School begins with a great new group of 7th and 8th grade students.  However, the part that never changes is our commitment  to excellence. The better we get, the more fun we have playing music!

Here’s to a great musical 2019/2020!!!

A few things about the first week of school:

  • You won’t need your instrument the first day.
  • We will hope to play by Thursday or Friday after assigning lockers/locks, folders, books, etc.
  • Get your instruments out and make sure they are in good working order; oil valves, get reeds, drum sticks ready, etc.
