Holiday Concert Schedule

Dear Parents,

            We have a very exciting schedule of upcoming events. We have a number of performance opportunities for our LMS Bands. The students have been working hard and I am proud to announce that they are really developing into great musicians. The music isn’t perfect yet, but it sounds better every week. We have a couple more weeks to go and when the time comes I think you will be very impressed with these groups.

We do not practice as a full group unfortunately so rehearsals are extremely important.  A mandatory rehearsal is required for each performing group. After rehearsal students may be picked up or take the late bus home. Students who do not participate in these rehearsals may be asked not to perform in the performance at the discretion of the teacher. In order to look professional and appropriate at all events students should remember to wear black pants and white shirts (button down preferred).

            As always it is very important that all students are at these events. Every member of our band is important to our success and every one of these playing opportunities is an educational experience for the students. If a student cannot attend an event please contact me to let me know. If students miss these events they will be asked to do a homework assignment based on the event to make up for the missed experience.

            In closing. I really can’t wait to see all of you at these performances and if you would like to lend a hand in any way please contact me. We have a really great band program here at Lincoln Middle School thank you for your commitment and contributions as we continue our success.

Thank You For Your Support,

Mr. Casale LMS Band Director­­ - casalet@lincolnps.org

Cookie Dough Delivery and Pick-Up!!!

Wednesday, November 1st is the date!!!

The delivery will take place sometime in the afternoon. (I do not have an exact time) We will distribute the cookie dough at the end of the day to all students.

Large orders should be picked up by car, because they will most likely be to large for students to transport on the bus.

Note: All pick-ups will need to be done by 4pm. I will be available at the school until that time.

All cookie dough must be picked up that day. If you are unable to do so please try to make arrangements for someone to pick it up for you. We do not have refrigeration to keep things cold overnight. Please contact me via email if you have any specific questions.

Thank You,  
Mr. Casale – casalet@lincolnps.org
