The accordion players are getting ready for Sauerkraut Day on Wednesday. Hope you can join us. The band plays at 11:00, the choir performs at 12:00.  Haben Sie einen guten Tag!

This is the Wishek Fourth Grade Recorder Band. Each student just wrote their first recorder composition. The book will be published tomorrow!

The music students will be selling raffle tickets for this 72"x72" inch quilt. It is called Sunflower Fields. The lucky winner will be drawn on December 3rd 2012. In addition to buying a raffle ticket from a music student, they will also be available at the concession stand during games and at Sauekraut Day.

Beer Barrel Polka

Did you know that the first time the Beer Barrel Polka was heard, World War Two was going on? This song went past any language barrier, and it didn't matter who's alliance you were with, everyone loved the song. The Wishek Band  will join the ranks of The Andrews Sisters, the Glen Miller Orchestra and Lawrence Welk as we play this for Sauerkraut Day October 10th here in Wishek.

Here is the debut of the fabulous fourth grade playing "Gently Sleep" today.

We had a little fun when the Preschool kids were in music this week. The children created a musical puppet show with the song Five Little Ducks.

I have some past recordings of the students and was listening to them tonight. Here is the 2012 Junior High Band playing African Adventures. We all know that we're in the process of learning, but I think they did a pretty good job with this piece. Let's see if this will go to the blog.

Looking forward to another year in the K-12 Music classes.
