WCS To Host Sixth Grade Band Fittings Feb. 4
WARSAW — Next year’s seventh grade band will be forming soon, and Warsaw Community Schools has invited perspective musicians to participate in the music program.
“I believe everyone is born with musical ability, said Band Director Joseph Peloza. “Now is the time to nurture that ability. Participation in band provides an avenue for creativity and self-expression that adds richness to the quality of life.”
Recent studies have also shown, on average, students who study a musical instrument score higher on standardized tests and out perform their peers in academic courses.
“To enroll in band for next year, we invite you and your child to attend instrument fittings on Monday, Feb. 4, at Edgewood Middle School from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.,” said WCS in a press release. “During these informal fittings, each child will have a hands-on opportunity to try out any instrument they might be interested in playing. The goal of the evening meeting is to choose the instrument best suited to your child.”
Interested patrons can call (574) 371-5037 or email Lori Owens at [email protected] to schedule an instrument fitting appointment for their student.
