Sixth graders have been learning about the instruments in the band! Every year, 6th graders get to chose to be in band with Mrs. Long and Mr. Siasoco or in general music with Mrs. Kikoler. Beginning band students can play flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone or percussion. During the next few weeks, every 6th grader will get to try each of these instruments and decide if they think band is right for them.
Here are some important dates for students interested in band:
September 1st and 8th - Mr. Siasoco and Mrs. Long will be available at Benton High School from 5-8 to answer question about band.
September 15th - Rental Night at Missouri Western State University at 6:00. Reiman's Music will be available with rental instruments, supplies and books.
Information about band will be coming home soon!

Musical Mania!
Lake Music is going nutty for musicals!
As mentioned in the newsletter, 3rd-6th graders will have an opportunity to participate in an after school musical club - a first for Lake Contrary! Students who participated in choir last year are welcome to join again without an audition. New members will audition within the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more information!
I also have some great news! Music students at Lake will get to go on TWO music and theatre-related field trips this year! 4th-6th graders will go to the symphony on October 6th and K-3rd graders will go to see the Junie B. Jones Musical on April 27th! On February 9th, the ENTIRE school will be going to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! All of these performances are at the historic Missouri Theater in downtown St. Joseph.
It's going to be a great year in music!
