Our Specials Are Special

Your student's music program has been scheduled! It will be on Thursday, February 22, 2024 at 6:30 pm. We will also have two day-time performances for the students. Our performances will be at 12:10 pm and 2:30 pm.

Our program is called "Our Specials Are Special." It is a fun music program that tells the importance of each specials class in our school. It will last about 20 minutes.

This program is for ALL 1st grade students. It will be their only opportunity for performance this school year. If you know your student will not be at either the day-time performances or the evening performance, please let me know as soon as possible (TMartin@usd207.org).

On the evening of the performance, students will need to be back at school between 6:15-6:20 p.m. and meet in their classrooms. Please have them give you any coats or jackets as they will not return to their classrooms.

Students will have the opportunity to volunteer for speaking lines. If students want a speaking line, they will receive one, likewise, if they do not want a speaking line, they will not receive one. Scripts will be passed out in January, during music class. A copy of the script will be added to this website for your reference (once lines have been assigned). All lines will be need to be memorized (but I will be in front of the students if any of them forget!)

There are no special costumes for this program, except for the six specials "teachers". Those six students will be contacted by email to discuss costumes. All of students can dress in "Picture Day Best".

The performance will be recorded and available for copy. If you would like a copy, please bring in a blank DVD (not an audio CD). Please make sure your students name is on it.

The week following our program, we will be having a popcorn party in the music room and watch our performance on the SmartBoard. This is a great opportunity to reflect on our performance. If your student cannot have popcorn, please have them bring in a snack to enjoy while we watch our performance. We will be having our celebration on the following days:
