What are we doing this week?

T2 Extra Credit

Students will have the opportunity to do this in class Monday or Tuesday.  If they want to think about it ahead of time, or go ahead and complete the form outside of class, that is fine.  Submissions must be made by 11:59pm on Tuesday.

Recital at Glenaire on Feb. 26

Band Trip to New York March 1-4

Yes, 14 brave students (and 6 even braver adults) will venture to New York  on Saturday.  We’ll wear our boots and galoshes as we trudge through the forecasted show.  🙂  We’ll hear a great quartet at Jazz at Lincoln Center, visit the 9/11 memorial, see the Lion King, take in the view from the top of Rockefeller Center, visit the Fieldston School, and play at Lincoln Center.  Some of us will hear Branford Marsalis’ quartet play at the Village Vanguard.  In the words of Dickie V, “It’s gonna be awesome baby!”

 

Circus Concert on March 7

This looks fun.  The history of early 20th century Circus music. Extra credit for T3!
