Since July we have been brainstorming a name for our 4th and 5th Grade Chorus. We have asked our students and teachers and now have a new name for our chorus. I am pleased to announce for the first time the Banks Road Elementary Boomers!
The Boomers have been practicing their instrumental and vocal pieces in order to perfect our selection for the Pieces of Gold audition on December 5th. We are waiting for our assigned time to report to Daniel Middle School for our audition. Our Boomer students will need transportation to Daniels Middle School on December 5th. Please contact Ms. Loftin at lloftin@wcpss.net with any questions you may have about this audition.
Students report every Tuesday and Thursday morning to rehearse with Ms. Loftin in the music room or on stage in the multi-purpose room. Ms. Loftin has developed a blog where she posts pictures, information and updates for our Boomer students and families. Please visit her site at any time for up-to-date information: http://banksrdmusic.blogspot.com/
Additionally, our students have been asked to perform at Crabtree Valley Mall on December 13th at 5:00 p.m. Ms. Loftin will be sending home information about this wonderful opportunity.
And last but not least, we would love to present a unified ensemble for our Pieces of Gold audition and for our future performances by having a Boomers t-shirt made for the group. Ms. Loftin has sent home information about purchasing t-shirts. The t shirt fee of $10.00 is due Tuesday, November 13th. T-shirt will be ordered Tuesday and should be in within one week.
We are excited about our progress of our Boomers and can't wait to show off their skills at the Barnes and Nobles Book Fair on November 15th with a preview of our Pieces of Gold audition selection. The book fair begins at 6 p.m. and the Boomers are scheduled to perform at 7:00 p.m.
I hope you will join me at this premier event for the Boomer's.
