The Nutcracker Ballet


4th Grade had the fantastic opportunity to attend Wichita Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker Ballet on the 13th!! We are very thankful to the Babson Foundation for generously donating the money for the students to attend :) In preparation for our field trip, we've been busy studying Tchaikovsky (the composer), the unique dance form of ballet, the storyline, characters, and the music people know and love from the ballet. We stopped for ice cream on the way back for a perfect end to the day. Ask your child what their favorite part of the performance was!

Two Thumbs Up for Kindergarten!!

Kindergarten had a wonderful time singing, dancing, and making music at their program on December 12th!! Lots of great comments and complements for the kiddos from the audience. We performed some new winter songs, spoke about what we loved about this time of year, and ended with a holiday favorite-12 Days of Christmas! Look at how nice we  looked:

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to your home and loved ones this Winter Break from Marshall Music! Enjoy family time and make sure to sing some favorite carols together before school starts back up in January :) I'll sure miss the kiddos!

Five Stars for FLAKES!

1st Grade's production of FLAKES! was a wonderful reminder that each and every person is special and unique (just like a snowflake!)  in their very own way. The students did a great job singing, dancing, playing instruments, and celebrating the winter season on Thursday. Here are some photos of them having a fantastic time, it's easy to tell from their faces!! Hope you enjoyed the little concert, remember you're as special as a snowflake-or a Snirt!
