The Instrumental Music Program at Whitin Middle School
continues to grow. The 2011-12 Instrumental Music Instructors are
Mrs. Kathleen Penza who teaches lessons in grades 5 – 8 and
directs the bands and Mr. Robert Hammerton who teaches
instrumental lessons and co-directs the Whitin School Chorus. The
Whitin School has three concert bands this year - a Beginner Band
(grade 5), an Intermediate Band (grade 6) and an Advanced Band
(grades 7 & 8). In addition, the Middle School Jazz Band rehearses
after school each Wednesday preparing for their performance at the
Meatballs and Music Dinner Concert/Fundraiser in March.
All instrumental lessons begin the
second week of school and students will soon be busy
preparing for their Holiday Concerts which will be held on
Monday, December 12th (Beginner Band and Chorus) and
Tuesday, December 13th (Intermediate and Advanced Bands) at
7:00 PM. (Snow date: December 15th).
Grade 6, 7, and 8 band students plan to
march in Uxbridge’s Annual Veterans’ Day Parade in November
and the 5th grade students will join them for the Memorial
Day Parade in May.
The Advanced Band and Intermediate Bands
are also planning a trip to the Great East Festival on May
18, 2012. Students will participate in a competition at a
Springfield area school in the morning and spend the
remainder of the day at Six Flags New England. There are
several fundraisers being planned to help pay for the trip.
More information regarding the band calendar, uniforms, etc. can
be found on Mrs. Penza’s webpage.
