Week 9 -NO MORNING BAND REHEARSALS

Hi guys,

There will not be any morning band rehearsals during week 9 as I am away in Auckland for a course.

Most bands have had two rehearsals this week and they will also have lunchtime rehearsals  from Wed-Fri.

Have a great weekend all!

The Fairfield / Arrowtown School Music Exchange Is Coming!!

Well it is that time again! Fairfield School will be here in week 5 of next term. 

The scheduled dates are:   

Wednesday, 15 August - Friday, 17 August 2012

We realise these dates clash with the CO X-County date but it is the only week Fairfield school could come during our 6 week ski period.

We will be calling for families who might be able to host a student from Fairfield school during their two night stay closer to the end of the term.

Keep an eye on the blog for further information.  Our students are already getting very excited as it is a wonderful way for them to meet like-minded students out of our area.

No Band Rehearsals This Week!

There will not be any band rehearsals this week. 

NO BAND REHEARSAL TOMORROW MORNING!

There will not be a Wednesday morning band rehearsal 23/5/12.

Room 10 takes to the floor with the 'Progressive Movement' Waltz Step!!

Here are room 10 trying to get the hang of the 'rise and fall' while doing the 'box step' during their waltz lesson today.

The 'Progressive Movement' and 'Left Box Turn' - Waltz

Today both room 17 and 18 were introduced to the 'Progressive Movement' and the 'Left Box Turn' during their Performing Arts class.  

The 'Progressive Movement' is a variation on the 'Box Step' the students were taught during their last class.  The male lead keeps the dance pair moving forward in the same direction instead of stepping back.

The 'Left Box Turn' consists of 4 half boxes.  With each new half box, both partners pivot 1/4 turn to their left. Four half boxes put together constitute an entire 'Left Box Turn'.

As you will see below the students of room 18 are really coming along with their 'Left Box Turn'. 

No Monday Morning Band Rehearsal 14/5/2012

There will NOT be a band rehearsal on Monday morning due to the Leaders Day in Dunedin.
