PD Appreciation Lunch!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to our local St. Johns PD. As a principal, I've worked with these officers who always go the extra mile to keep our community safe.
They work so hard, especially during tough times, and we just wanted to say thank you for everything they do.
Opening night tonight! Hope to see you all at one (or all 😃) of the performances. Plenty of seating for all our "beautiful hides."
$5 a person - $25 a family
Today's baseball and softball games vs. Hopi have been cancelled.
We are so proud of our students who made it to Orchestra Regionals!
London Montoya 1st chair alto sax
Emily Kellogg 3rd chair alto sax
Elena Tullie manager
Evan Gardner 1st chair cello
Alex Nockideneh 4th chair cello
Evelyn Brown 2nd chair 2nd violin
Evelyn Andrus auditioned and made 1st chair 2nd violin but was unable to attend
This was from their amazing teacher, Ms. Cluff:
Sorry if you already know this, but I just want to explain a little more so you know how awesome these kids are. The audution prosses takes A LOT of work and skill. These students practiced extremly difficult, college level music and then played it for a judge in addition to scales and sight reading (playing songs they have never practiced or even seen before). I had students spending countless hours practicing in my room after school and on Fridays to prepare for auditions.
If a students score is high enough to make regionals (a huge accomplishment on its own) they are given their chair placement based on audition scores.
Evan has been first chair cello both years he has auditioned. London is first chair alto sax as only a sophomore. First chair means that they scored higher than everyone else in the entire Northeast Region. In other words, we had the 1st and 4th highest cellos scores in the region, the 5th and 7th highest violin scores and the 1st and 3rd highest alto sax scores.
They practiced all day yesterday from 8 am to 6 pm and are at it again today. The concert is at Payson high school at 5:00. I believe admission is 5 dollars.
