Hey kids, parents, whomever...if anyone is reading this. I have had a momentous and rocky start to the year at my new campus. I still think about all of you, and I miss you, and hope that your orchestra education is going well with Mr. Lopez. He's a fine teacher; he's not me, but that's OK.
I've come to understand that the scheduling was all topsy-turvy and that they made a mess of things. I'm very sorry, and I'm almost thankful I wasn't there for that because I may have lost my temper had it occurred and I was still there.
I hope that many of you attended Solo & Ensemble, and that you did well. Be sure to check back in May for the all-region music for the next school year.
I also hope that whatever your experience has been so far this year, that it will not sour your love of music. You know that I was having a very difficult time being at three schools and have very little time to get my copies made, but I was always there after school. I sort of wish that the students at my new campus understood the importance of staying after school for extra help, other than just waving it away as an excuse to not be prepared for the next class.
Alas, I hope you're all well, and don't hesitate to contact me if I can help you with anything...I know that recommendation letters are important this time of year for those of you going to high school.
