The end of the year has been exciting for band students! 5th, 6th, and 7th grades added their handprints to the family tree in the band room. Normally this is a 5th grade tradition, but several 5th grade classes missed it due to COVID. Everyone is officially part of the family now!
The 5th grade band also had a special party to celebrate their completion of the Scale Challenge. They earned this when every member of the band learned three scales. The students are pictured showing off the Scale Wall, which holds the names of every student in grades 5-12 who has learned scales this semester.
Emily Bach performed at the IHSMA Outstanding Performers Recital in Ames on Tuesday. She was selected for this honor by earning the highest score in her center at Solo-Ensemble Contest at OABCIG in April. We are lucky to have such an amazing student musician at Hinton!
Looking forward to the official ceremony!

Our thanks to the family of Jan Heimgartner for donating 41 hardcover Caldecott books and a cozy child sized reading area to the elementary library. In addition, they developed an ongoing program to gift a book to every 1st grade child on their birthday in memory of Jan. For information about Jan and how you can help this program continue, check out this month's elementary newsletter.
We are excited to announce that our first year band teacher, Ms Weyhrich, will be presenting at the annual Iowa Bandmasters Association Conference later this week in Des Moines.
On Thursday, Ms. Weyhrich will partner with the band directors from West Monona, Westwood, and Woodbury Central to present "A Beginner's Guide to Small School Band Programs." The four directors will share their tips and tricks with fellow new teachers and with college music education students.
Ms. Weyhrich has also been selected to participate in the Young Conductors Workshop at the conference held on Friday. Only six band directors from across the state were invited to participate in this clinic. Ms. Weyhrich will conduct two pieces with the Southeast Polk High School Wind Ensemble and receive feedback from esteemed teacher Paula Crider, Director of Bands Emerita at the University of Texas at Austin.
We are very proud of Ms. Weyhrich and thank her for her continued professional commitment to growth for herself and our students!
