Welcome to 4th Grade Band

4th grade has arrived and that means BAND! It's a whole new way to learn about the world and it's marvelous Creator! The joy I see each day as these kids make all kinds of noises on those new instruments must make His heart glad. We, parents and teachers must work together to keep that joy alive today, through the year, and hopefully for their whole lives! You, the parent, will be the biggest part of this process. Sitting and listening to them honk through Hot Cross Buns and making them feel like they just did the greatest thing in the history of the world is one more way to say "I love you" and to send them up a path that could literally lead them anywhere. In some ways the next few months may be trying on your ears and nerves (if your child becomes a particularly zealous practicer) - but like hard excersize it will pay off! The most important thing is: let them know that you love it! constantly! Someday, they'll be playing and you'll suddenly realize "wait, that actually sounds good..." trust me, it's true.
