Ms. D runs from Zombies!

A few of our students have found out that I am running in a "Zombie Mud Run" on Nov. 3rd at the  Field of Terror in East Windsor.  Some students have been asking what this is, so I decided to share the following link with all of you!

Zombie Mud Run

If you would like to come cheer me on (or just watch me scream like the little girl I am).  My sister-in-law and I will be running at 10AM!

October Update!

Wow!  What a start to the year!

Our choirs are already sounding fantastic as we work towards our Winter Concert, Improv is up and running and we are inching closer to the Parent Play Meeting.

I have been missing some voices in my choirs, so please look at my past post to remind you of the rehearsal times.  We just don't sound the same without you!

PLAY PARENT MEETING
Our meeting will take place October 29th in the Cafeteria at 7PM.  The location is different from your school calendar, all parents of students in grades 6-8 interested in participating in the play or stage crew should attend!

As always our parent volunteers are a huge help!  Please consider volunteering your talents, organizational skills, or plain old eagerness to help to our production!

Keep on Rockin,'
Ms. D

Welcome Back!

I am excited to start our 2012-2013 school year together! We are getting into the swing of things, and I know that Mrs. Danis and our student teacher Miss Stebich are thrilled to start making music with us.

Along with our choir ensembles we have a new exciting program for our middle school musicians and actors.  The Oh! Pierre Improv Ensemble will meet Wednesday mornings at 7:30 starting September 19th!  This group is NON-AUDITION, meaning all can join!  We will be experimenting with improvisation games for music, movement and acting.  This is a great way to explore our creativity, improve on your improvisation skills for jazz band, prep for play auditions and have a ton of fun!

As a quick reminder for our before school groups, here are our meeting times:

4th & 5th Grade Choir- Tuesday mornings 7:30AM
Oh! Pierre Improv Ensemble-  Wednesday mornings 7:30AM
Advanced Choir- Friday mornings 7:30AM

Recess Rehearsals are as follows:

6th Grade Choir- Monday
Advanced Choir- Tuesday
Concert Choir (7/8)- Thursday

Happy New School Year!

MILES FOR MUSIC!

Here's how the charity works: Once you have a minimum of 10 participants on your team, “Cranbury School”, you will be eligible to receive funds back to your music program. Your school will receive a portion of the event proceeds based on the number of participants registered for your team, so the more people registered for your team, the more money you get back!

The actual amount of the donations won't be determined until the completion of the event and all of the revenues from registrations, donations, fundraising, and sponsorships have been calculated.

TO REGISTER:
