Summer Activities

The summer has finally arrived and I'd like to tell you about some fun summer activities going on in the band program and in the rest of the music department.

Summer band rehearsals are have started and we're still taking students to play with us. Right now we are short on Flutes, low woodwinds, and percussion. We could also use a tuba, but one of our other members is trying it out as a second instrument. I must say he's doing pretty well also. If you'd like to join us, rehearsals are every Tuesday and Thursday, at 7:30pm in the high school band room.

We are also offering summer band and orchestra lessons. These lessons have already been scheduled but if you are interested, please contact me and I can see if I have a group available to take another person. Groups are based on instrumentation and then by ability level. There is a 5 student maximum per group. There is a small fee for the lessons, $50 for the summer. Whether you can make 5 lessons or 10 lessons, that fee is the same. Checks can be payable to Mukwonago Schools.

The Marching Band has also begun its season. We are marching in the SummerFeste Parade in Mukwonago and we're marching in the Kettle Moraine Days Parade. After that, our camps start in the end of July. If interested in joining us this year, contact a director for more information.

Have a wonderful and safe summer,

Mr. Werner
