We love a student that never gives up! Check out Ruby from Jeffery Elementary School who set her sights on Black Belt and has continued working, never losing sight of the goal! Congratulations Miss Ruby! You did it! You are officially a Band 🥷 Ninja! Way to go!!!

Everybody put your hands in the air for Caroline, a stellar Somers band ninja!!! 🥳🖤🥷

Caroline is a shining example of consistency and perseverance. Whenever she faced a challenge, she never gave up and always set the bar higher for herself! Her confidence has grown throughout the year, and plays with beautiful, resonant tone!

I’m so proud of you, Caroline! 😁👏 Keep being an awesome leader! 🎶🎵

We’ve got ourselves another Band Ninja! Congratulations to Aliyana from Bose who earned her black belt today on the clarinet! Way to go!

Bea played a concert this morning at Whittier Elementary School and then promptly followed it by slaying her last 3 exercises to earn the coveted Black 🖤 Belt! Congratulations Band 🥷 Ninja! Your consistency and tenacity has paid off! Fun fact. Bea wasn’t going to join band. Mrs Kruse knew her parents and contacted them to get her to try it! (Way to go Mom & Dad!)
If you have a 4th grader who isn’t considering it, give them a nudge! You never know, they might just end up to be an amazing trombonist and Black Belt in band, like Bea!!
Be like Bea!

We’ve got ourselves another Band Ninja! Jeremiah from Grewenow has worked very hard all year on the Baritone! Not only does he play with a beautiful tone, he reads music extremely well! Great work Jeremiah! I can’t wait to see you continue to grow on that instrument in middle school!
