What is *magical* (that sentimental Ms. Leom can't help herself) about the Music in Our School Concert, is the opportunity to SEE the progress over the years. For Ms. Leom, when she watches the fourth grade perform, then the sixth grade choir, then the seven and eighth graders, and finally the high school band and choirs ... these are HER KIDS! Once upon a time, they stood on the risers as fourth graders ... she watched them try the different band instruments at the end of fourth grade and make their selections ... she heard the excitement and anticipation as they started their band lessons, and now she can enjoy the success that started with recorders in fourth grade. Our school develops *MAGIC* in our students ... one note at a time ... and if you participate ... the MUSIC isn't just IN OUR SCHOOLS ... it is passed on ... shared ... and developed ... making notes ... and looking forward ...
