New school year, new rehearsal space




Over the past few months the instrumental rehearsal space has received significant upgrades. I am truly thankful that the district installed Wenger acoustical panels on the walls and ceiling. This has had a dramatic impact on the decibel level in the room, which is literally less "music to my ears." The old cracked floor tile was also removed and replaced with new blue tiles, completing the transformation. Electrical work was done to the air-conditioning units to keep them running smoothly. To say the students were "wowed" when they walked in on Tuesday was an understatement. Also in the works is a technology upgrade. The lighting will be on the list for next summer.

I spent considerable time in August cleaning, sorting, discarding, and organizing the space and it is much more functional now. The students have done a great job maintaining the room this first week!
