MHS band, orchestra to tour schools
September 09, 2016 Syndicated from District

There will be music in air outside of the Monroe Public Schools’ five elementary schools all-day Thursday, September 15, as the Monroe High School Marching Band makes it annual elementary school tour.  For the second consecutive year, the district’s orchestra students also will be touring.

     The 95-member band and the orchestra students will travel from school to school, giving 10-minute concerts at each school in the school’s parking lot, playground or front lawn, as students come out from class to listen.

     The musicians will be at each school for about 15 minutes, performing three of their fall show songs and the Monroe High School song before moving onto the next school.  The busy day for the students starts at 9 a.m. and goes through 1:45 p.m. 

     Although a pretty busy and tiring day for the musicians, it is a great way to kick off the year for elementary school teachers and students and one of the time-honored traditions of the music program at Monroe High School.

     The day’s schedule is:  9:15 a.m., Custer 1 and 2 (two performances), 10:25 a.m., Arborwood Campus; 10:55 a.m., Manor; 12:45 p.m., Waterloo; and 1:15 p.m., Raisinville.

     The MHS Marching Band is directed by Mr. James Nuechterlein and the Orchestra is directed by Mrs. Ann Felder.
