Music Recital – Wednesday 3:30

We will be having a music recital in M251 from 3:30 – 4:15 on Wednesday. This will be a time for sharing, in which students simply show what they’ve been doing for the past few months. Our audience is Xianlin Middle School, but we’d love to have lots of other people join as well. The performers include:

– Pevn’s Jazz Band
– Ilwoo & Willy on a Sax / Piano duet
– Kiki and Bravo doing a violin/flute duet with piano accompaniment
– Daniel playing solo clarinet
– Korean traditional drumming
– Beginner Band playing 3 songs
– PYP choir
– Trycicle Rock Band
– Lucas & Alex doing a finger-picking guitar duet

* And Xianlin Middle School said they’d bring some performers, as well!

The recital will most likely last 25 minutes, so we’d love it if you popped in for a bit.

Burst the Bubble activity idea

Is anyone interested in discussing an activity where a few of our older kids provide a small English class on weekends under your guidance and supervision? This would be seen as fulfilling your ASA requirement. If someone is interested in taking this on i would be prepared to investigate further.

Xuanwu are on a roll!!!
