Welcome to the "blog" section of the website. What is a blog? A blog is
an online web journal or diary. A person writing in the blog is called "blogging." The band blog will have
postings about current events or news, different topics about band, questions students have, or anything students
need to know that is important. If you have any suggestions for the blog, sign the Guestbook, or email Mrs. Crockwell. So check back frequently to read the blogs.
Happy reading!

Fifth Grade Band earns a Bronze Medal!
Congratulations to the 5th grade band for earning a Bronze Medal at the recent MICCA Festival at Hopkinton
High School. The 65 band members performed "William Tell Overture", "A Prehistoric Suite", and "Honor March."
Three judges adjudicated the band and the group also had the opporutnity to particpate in a clinic with one of the judges. The
band impressed many people with their talent and performance. Thank you to parents for your continous support and encouragement.
Without it, this would not have been possible. The band should be proud of what they acheived. This is the first time
ever that the fifth grade band participated in the festival at the elementary level. Way to go!!

5th Grade Concert Band to perform at MICCA Music Festival
The Fifth Grade Band is performing at the MICCA Music Festival this Saturday, April 5th.
This is the first year that the Fifth Grade Concert Band is representing the district at the elementary school level at MICCA
The music festival encourages and supports high performance standards by high school, middle school, and elementary school
music organizations by providing musical adjudication. Groups are evaluated on the merit of their performance and awards presented
are based on a medals system (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Medal of Merit, and Medal of Participation). If the band scores a gold
medal this weekend, they are then invited to perform at Symphony Hall Boston in May. The students have
been practicing and preparing for this event. Good luck band!
