We're beginning a new grading period.
The Band students are doing very well. Band Members should be prepared to play from rehearsal mark B to E with as few mistakes as possible.

We had our big review this week, and passed with flying colors. The on-site inspectors were very impressed with the Music Program. Yeah !!! Keep up the great work Parents and Students. Thanks to the OLL Community as a whole for all the great support.

The Jr. High Band is doing excellent on Assembly Processional. We are hoping to be able to play this piece at the Spring Concert along with some other pieces that feature specific sections. The First thru Fourth Grades are not only working on keyboard this week, but also getting ready for the Mass with the Bishop on Jan 20th. We also have an all school liturgy coming up on Feb 7, the close of Catholic Schools week, that they are preparing for. The Kindergarten have begun their introduction to recorders, and are doing well.

Happy 2010 to all our OLL Family.
The students are back and hard at work in Band and Choir. They will be preparing for their end of the year concert that will be sometime in May. Weekly lessons have resumed for the Fifth thru Jr. High Band Members.
The Kindergarten is beginning to learn recorders. They are very excited about playing this beginning instrument.
First thru Fourth Grade are back at the keyboards. We took a break from the keyboards to practice in November and December for the Christmas Concert.
Fourth Graders who are learning to play an instrument for Band next year have resumed their lessons schedules. Thanks to all the parents that are making sure their child spends at least 20 minutes each day practicing.
