2015 Reach Beyond the Stars Spring Recital

Students have been working hard Reaching Beyond the Stars!
Students have been completing mission assignments and advancing through the following ranks:
Crewman
Ensign
Lieutenant
Lieutenant Commander
Commander
Captain
Commodore
Admiral

A special thank you to parents, grandparents and any other family members and friends that make sure students are prepared for their lessons each week. I understand the process sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride at times and without you, your child would not be successful. You are the backbone to make sure things are done. Trust me when I say they will thank you later for the wonderful gift of music that  you have given them!

Recital Program





Getting ready to perform...
 


Imagine for a moment that you have the unique opportunity to go BEYOND the STARS taking your FIRST FLIGHTA WALK IN SPACE. Perhaps you will see the EASTERN or LUNAR ECLIPSE or maybe the MILKY WAY or HALLEYS COMET. Our mission has begun, better HOLD ON for the ride. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!

Each of us is a RISING STAR, precious DIAMONDS IN THE SKY following a MOONLIGHT PATH. We are the SHOOTING STARS, the STARLIGHT across the SKY BLUE.

Continuing on our Journey to A WHOLE NEW WORLD. They say there is a MIST IN THE MOONLIGHTA RACE IN SPACE and STAR WARSA PLACE IN OUTERSPACE where MEN ARE FROM MARS and PART OF YOUR WORLD. Where there was a MOON LANDING and you BELIEVE YOU CAN FLY.

ACROSS THE STARS from EARTH TO MOON, to the TITAN OF JUPITER and THE WINDS OF NEPTUNE, there is SOMETHING LIKE A STARWe have NO LIMITS except the SKY! This is our MISSIONS END.


 Performing...


Celebrating a job well done...

Spring Group Lessons

I only managed to snap a few pictures at our spring group lessons.

At this group lesson we reviewed notes with the Cracked Egg Interactive Game. We reviewed our theory concepts with Reach Beyond the Stars board game and our intervals with Space Place.
