Instrumental Music Notes

Mr. Corcoran would like to congratulate all the students in the instrumental music program who performed on May 19th and 20th outside in the courtyard.  All three bands performed well.   The following eighth graders received plaques for their participation in the instrumental music program throughout their time at SJS: Anya Avis, Stefaniya Barbieri, Anna Maria Bellamy, Brianna Flores, Greyson Grzesiakowski, Mary LaMonicia, and Michael Machewirth. Great job Sabers!

Tomorrow – June 2nd – the beginning band will do a demonstration for the SJS third graders.  An informational flyer regarding the Future Musicians Inc. Program will be coming home with all third grade students tomorrow (as a reminder, the instrumental music program is open to students in 4th grade and up).  Interested students may rent an instrument from SJS as early as this summer – the rental contact is due back by June 10th.

If you have any questions after reviewing the informational flyer, you can reach out to Mr. Corcoran at JCorcoran@snet.net.
