6th Grade Jamboree is Monday

All students need to wear jeans (no holes), black orchestra polo, a black belt, and dark shoes.  Students need to also bring their sunglasses and wire stands for the performance.  Students will stay afterschool to eat and make last minute preparations for Jamboree.  We will leave Awtrey at approximately 5:15pm and arrive at Daniell Middle School no later than 6pm.

The actual performance for parents begins at 7:30pm but make sure you get there early because parking is limited.  Any child not traveling back to Awtrey on the bus needs to make sure they checkout with MC prior to leaving.

Any parent assisting MC with transporting instruments, serving pizza, and/or riding the bus needs to be at Awtrey by 4pm.

Thanks!!!!

Hire us for your next wedding gig :)

Game Project

Part I of your Terms Project is still due this Friday at the end of class. 
Details:  You are to create instructions for a game that will help you learn your terms.  You must give very specific details on how to play the game and if you have specific game pieces, board, cards, etc... then you must include a drawing of those pieces.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUILD A GAME YET!  I only want instructions on a piece of paper.

You will be graded on your game's ability to teach the terms, your creativity, and your ability to explain how to play the game.  Each student/ group will present their game idea to the class and we will vote for the top three games.  Those persons who win the top three spots will receive extra credit and MC will create your game for the class to play.

6th Grade Ensemble

6th grade ensemble will meet next Thursday morning (March 11th) at 8am due to scheduling conflicts.  If any student cannot be present please send me an email letting me know as soon as possible.   We will be recording your pieces to take inventory on where we are in preparation for our Six Flags Festival.
