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!

Cool Happenings
It's been quite awhile since I've blogged. Sorry about that. I've noticed that students have been signing
the guest book and checking out the website frequently. Yeah! Hope you are reading my blog right now :)
It's almost the end of the school year, and there are lots of exciting things happening in the band program since November.
Fourth grade beginner students started Beginner Band in late January. It's been fun but LOUD! The group started
to learn and practice the two cool band songs (Dragon Slayer & Cowboy Cattle Drive). The band is making great progress,
working really hard, and is sounding good.
The Fifth Grade Band recently marched in Grafton's Little League Parade. It was a beautiful day for a parade, and
a great turnout. It was hot, but it was fun. There were over 200 students in the marching band that included the elementary
band and the middle school bands. This was the first time the two schools actually played together for the first time.
Everyone cheered us on, and the band sounded really well. If you haven't already done so, there are some pictures
from the parade that are posted on the Greater Grafton Blog. Check it out. There's even a picture of me shouting into the megaphone. The next parade is the Memorial
Day Parade.
All the band groups are working really hard for their Spring Concert in June. The date for the Spring
Concert is Tuesday, June 16, 2009 @ Grafton High School. There will be two seperate concerts.
The Fourth Grade Band & Chorus will perform earlier in the evening, and the Fifth Grade Band & Chorus will perform
later in the evening. Times of the concerts haven't been determined yet. Mark your calendars.
