Music Creation Concert!



On March 12th, we had twenty-five members of our advanced recorder consort, Music Creation, perform for their Community Concert.  We had a wonderful performance of eleven advanced recorder pieces for the soprano and tenor recorder.  Congratulations to all of our students who performed.

Sadly, it was also Ms. Oberley's last performance with our students as she will be continuing her student teaching in the AHS and AMS vocal and instrumental music departments.  Thank you for your service to our students, Ms. Oberley.  You will be an excellent music educator!

We will continue Music Creation rehearsals at 8:05 a.m. on Friday mornings until May 1st, our last rehearsal.

100 BLACK BELTS!!!

In 2008, we had a total of five black belts in our school.  It was the first year we began this amazing sequential instrumental program but who would have thought that one day we would have ONE HUNDRED different students, in one grade, reach their BLACK BELTS?  And, yes, we still have one quarter left in the year :)

It's true...WE HAVE ONE HUNDRED BLACK BELTS IN FIFTH GRADE!  100!!! 

We are so incredibly proud of all of our A.E.S. music students and their hard work.

The Fifth Grade Atchison Aviators have how many BLACK BELTS???
