*Did you see he article in the paper about Rowan County's own Neil Wilkinson singing the National anthem at the Cincinnati Red Sock's Stadium?  Way to go!

The Music Educators Association has challenged us to teach our students the words to the National Anthem. Studies show that 75% of Americans do not know the words to the Star Spangled Banner. The majority of students know a portion of the first verse (there are three), but most of them can not write out the words or even recite them without stumbling or repeating phrases that they already used. Please help with this at home. After all, you want your child to be confident when they sing at that baseball game!

Recorder orders and Honors Chorus information will go out next week after the 9-17-09 music meeting at the county office.

THESE STUDENTS ARE BLACK BELTS!
