Pekin Public Schools

Jefferson Primary School would like to wish Mr. Arnsman a Happy Birthday!

Our Pekin 108 band teachers, Mr. Sheldon and Miss Hendrick, are having fun visiting the Washington and Wilson 5th grade music classes. During their visit, students learn about the instruments of the band, what each instrument sounds like, and how to make a sound on different instruments. Band begins in 5th grade and any 5th grade student that would like to learn how to read sheet music and how to play an instrument are welcome to join the band! Students receive a note to take home about enrollment after each classroom visit. Mr. Sheldon and Miss Hendrick are finishing up their visit to Washington classes and will visit Wilson classes this week. In addition to Mr. Sheldon’s and Miss Hendrick’s visit, the Pekin 108 junior high band is going to do a short concert for 5th grade students. They have been rehearsing some popular tunes for their performance that includes: Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Encanto, Supercalfragalisticexpialidocious, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and much more! Families interested in enrolling their child in the band program should attend one of the two beginning band parent night sessions on Wednesday, September 14th from 4:30-5:30PM or 5:30-6:30PM. Those who cannot attend, would like a copy of the enrollment note, or want more information should contact Mr. Sheldon cody.sheldon@pekin108.org Mr. Sheldon and Miss Hendrick look forward to teaching your child how to read sheet music and how to play a band instrument! Come join the band!
