It is too cold!

Hello all,

I hope that you are warm and comfortable in your homes today. Don't forget to practice a whole bunch today. :-)

Just wanted to post here how you can find recordings of some of our band songs on-line. If you go to www.jwpepper.com you can often find the songs we do so that you can listen to them. Of course, I have been told that YouTube also has recordings. Just remember that the quality of recordings on there depends on who put it there. The recordings on JWPepper are done by professionals.

6th Graders- You should check out There Will Come Soft Rains and As Winds Dance on there. Those would be good listening. Happy listening.

Great Work On IBA Recording

Hello all,

I just wanted to take a minute to tell all of my sixth grade band kids that they did a fantastic job on our preparation of an IBA recording. Regardless of the outcome, I am extremely proud. The recording that we have is quite good and I think that those of you who asked for a copy will thoroughly enjoy it.

Now we get to get into a really fun part of the year preparing for solo/ensemble contest and pep band. I think that you all will have a great time over the next month or so.

Oh no....I hear my daughter saying "Uh-oh" that means she is up to no good. :-) I should go. Have a great day everyone and welcome back from winter break.

-Mr. Taylor
