7th Grade Pops in the Park - Concert with Harrison High School Bands
We are excited to announce our final concert of the year will be with the Harrison High School Band Program at their "Pops in the Park" event on Friday, May 4 at Harrison High School!! This will be much like the Chastain Park summer concert series where families choose either general “lawn” admission or special table seating near the stages. There will be an admission charge (performers get in free) and the funds will benefit both the Lost Mountain and Harrison Band programs…more information on seating and prices will be forthcoming. The Lost Mountain Band will perform all popular music including the Theme from Transformers, I Want to Hold Your Hand by the Beatles, and a classic American march. We are excited about ending this successful year with such a special event!

8th Graders Zoned for Hillgrove - Band Audition Materials/Information
All Hillgrove High School Band Audition materials are posted on their website: www.hillgroveband.com
A note from Mr. Erwin:
"Students should not feel pressured to play ALL of the materials if they cannot. If they can only play a portion - they should still audition.
Also - the top half of the sheet is Quarter Note=84. The bottom half can be played as slow or fast as they can, and still feel good about it. 84 is ideal…"
Best of luck & we are here to help if you need :)! ~ Mrs. Tingle & Mrs. Watts
