     Bravo!  December and January featured some amazing performances from our groups at all levels.  Many thanks to all the students, parents, and staff who made our concerts so great.
     Winter time is when music classes gear up for spring performances.  It's also festival time.  Congratulations to the many Marshfield students who auditioned for various MMEA SE district, SEMSBA, and All-State festivals.  We are proud to have students in all the festivals.  Sr. district festival took place in January.  Jr. district, sr. SEMSBA, and All-State will happen in March.  And jr. SEMSBA will take place in May.  Congratulation especially to junior Sean Tobin and senior Karen Herwono for their selection to MMEA All-State this year.  Karen is also going to Pittsburgh in April for the NAfME All-Eastern district festival in April!
      Many thanks to everyone who helped with our mattress fundraiser.  We raised $14,770 for our programs and student this year!  That's almost $55,000 in four years!  That money will go towards equipment and maintenance, clinicians, student assistance, trip costs, and accompanists among other things.  See above for info on this week's calendar raffle.
      This past fall we started up a new registration system (see below) and new payment system for our private lessons.  We also have new scheduling for our elementary band and strings.  Both have taken a bit of work to get going but I'm looking forward to the benefits of both.  Welcome to new elementary music teacher Lindsay Vaughan.  Ms. Vaughan is a Marshfield resident and parent who will teach classroom music and chorus at Martinson and Eames Way.  She comes to us with a wealth of experience and training; we are excited to have her!
     It's never a bad time to sign up for (or get back into) private lessons! If you want private lessons for your child (all levels), fill out a lesson registration.   Welcome to new voice teacher Chelsea Basler, trumpet teacher Spenser Aston, and violin/viola teacher Laura Canzano.
     Our department is as busy as ever at all levels. Events are now posted for this coming year. Please check the Calendar page for updated information on all Music Dept. events. Please contact me if you need anything.
