Chorus performs at 12:00 in the music room. Please wear white or green shirts.Steel drums perform at 12:30.MONDAYS in the music room – guitars and bass MONDAYS in room 9 – singers TUESDAYS in the music room – keyboards and drums Please pick up music in the hallway outside the music room and practice any way you are able to (listening to recordings of the songs, drumming on pots and pans, singing to your dog… whatever works for you). We’re off to a great start! The four songs are … (drumroll please)… “Rock and Roll” by Led Zeppelin “Yellow Submarine” and “A Hard Day’s Night” by The Beatles and “No Rain” by Blind Melon. We had FIFTY THREE (yes, you read that right, 53) students show up to the first meeting. Guitarists will meet next Monday, Drummers/Keyboards/Singers will meet next Tuesdays. Singers meet in Room 9. Can’t wait to get to work! Rock Band club will begin next week. On Tuesday the 19th, all FOURTH and FIFTH GRADE students who are interested in being in the rock band club should come to the music room with their lunch at noon. REMEMBER, the music room is peanut-free, so if you have peanuts, you must eat in the hallway and wash your hands and face before coming into rock band club. I will play a few songs on CD, do sign-ups for various instruments, talk about the plan for this year, and generally kick things off. (Adult volunteers are welcome at any time.) After that, guitarists will meet on Monday the 25th at noon, and drummers on Tuesday the 26th at noon. You WILL be expected to practice at home, even if you don’t have an instrument, and I’ll show you how to do that. See you soon!

You will cheer as they produce their maniacal music on a chrome spine of electro-drums! You will gasp as they blur your vision with streaks of LED lights. You will guffaw at the sight of them when they don their electronic jumpsuits. And lastly, you will cry, because you just never want it to end! With over 15 years of experience in the performing arts, members of AudioBody have performed all over the world. Highlights include the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, the Golden Phoenix Casino in Reno, NV and even The White House in Washington DC three times!” Portland Conservatory of Music is having an Open House next Saturday, the 16th.
