Dear Northside Parents,
Thank you to those who attended and performed at the Recorder Concert on Tuesday, April 29th. It is exciting to see so many 5th graders interested in continuing with music next year in band and choir. I highly encourage everyone to participate in music throughout middle and high school.   If you have questions about music ensembles available, please contact myself, band director Tony Hernandez at ahernandez@dist228.org, or choir director Marie Abel at mabel@dist228.org and we will be happy to discuss your options.
As we enter the end of the year, I wanted to remind everyone that there are several remaining performances and other musical opportunities available to your child.¬†¬† We hope that you and your child will be able to come out to each of these events! You should have received a more detailed message regarding these events via Skyward. I’ve attached these documents at the bottom of this message.
Please contact me if you have questions at meckwall@dist228.org or (309) 945-0625. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely in Music,
Mike Eckwall
