The Shickley High School students are back from tour.  The full band and choir began last Thursday for a home concert.  Then 9 students traveled to Kearney for Class D All-State Bands. Then 14 students ended their time with Conference Honor Choir and Honor Band on Monday.  In all the students have performed 6 jazz charts, 14 concert band pieces, and 8 choir pieces.  They also rehearsed for about 17 hours, not to include time leading up to those 5 days, set up the class-d rehearsal sites, cleaned up the sites, set up and tore down the home sites, and were on time for all call times.  Just for our sanity I didn't keep track of miles logged. Christy Swartzendruber also sight read down a concert, like a true professional, because the symphonic band had 1/2 of the trumpet section missing and it added a voice that helped the whole ensemble.  
They represented the village and school of Shickley in a very high manner and received praises from other directors when we were out and about.  
Sometimes it’s nice to share news from the work the kids are doing in our building and outside of the building. 

Mr. Harris thank you for allowing him to have a little more of the students time than normal for these past couple of days. 

 

The After School Program is Monday through Thursday, 3:35 – 5:00 p.m.

 

High school students please pay Mrs. Curlo for prom glasses and garters.
