Good morning and Happy Wednesday, PMA teachers! Welcome into this week’s edition of Wednesday Words. Today we’ve got some important documents for you regarding PMA’s upcoming Retirement Community Event, the recital and calendar updates!
To start us off, this is a reminder that our Retirement Community performance takes place on Saturday, October 21 at 1:30pm. If you have a student who is signed up to perform, please touch base with them to ensure that they are prepared and set up with details/info for the performance! We are excited to be able to provide some musical joy to our elderly community members and are looking forward to hearing great things from all who have signed up! Please let Dan or the front desk know if you have any questions.
The PMA Fall Recital is fast approaching and already a mere five weeks away! Recital signup emails were delivered to parents yesterday with instructions on how to register their students/choose a time, but with that said, there are a few items of extreme importance for teachers as well. Attached are two guides to assist with recital prep- one will provide you with specific teacher guidelines, timeframes, and expectations for the recital, while the other will provide you some helpful hints/tips leading up to and after the recital. Performance season can be a crazy, frantic, manic time, and PMA is here to help support you through the process. This show promises to bring about a thrilling, entertaining, lively couple of days, and without all hands on deck and an excellent crew of teachers/staff, these events would simply be impossible. An important footnote- SIGNUP DEADLINE and STUDENT INFO/TRACK DEADLINE are both set for 11/1/23. We are utilizing sound techs and a house crew and are thusly not able to flex or bend any deadlines, so PLEASE make sure you submit any needed materials on time. If any questions or concerns are not addressed within this email or the documents, please let myself or office staff know and we will strive to make sure we are all on the same page!
Lastly, I have attached the PMA calendar with any days/holidays off highlighted in red. Please note that we are closed on Halloween (Tuesday, 10/31), so please consider this when planning your timelines for your students in the recital. If you need any clarification, please let myself or the office staff know.
Thank you as always for your devotion to changing lives, shaping minds, and sharing the gift of music.
