Middle School Percussion Ensemble

We are excited to announce we have started a Percussion Ensemble for young percussionists.  We have just begun, and it’s not too late to join.  This is a place for students 6th through 8th grade to continue to explore the world of percussion on hand drums, mallet percussion, marching percussion, auxiliary instruments, and so much more.  

Mr. Hurt leads this group on Wednesdays after school, from 2:45-4:15pm.  We will have a few performance opportunities at the end of each semester.  INTERESTED?  Click here to fill out the Google Form and register: https://forms.gle/a3JDx2pHTP1G3Pz86 


DANCE

We are excited to announce our Dance Workshops for the coming semester. For the Fall semester, Ms. Michelina Ryan will be leading our students in these sessions, with the goal of building to more regular opportunities in the Spring semester and beyond.  Michelina is a student at Anderson University in South Carolina studying dance.  She has worked with our students in a number of ways already including dance groups, theatre, workshops, and more.  We are so excited to have her in leadership here, as she has so much to offer both artistically and spiritually to our students.

INSTRUMENT REPAIR

We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments.  If you have an instrument that needs repair as the school year begins, this may be a great option for you.  The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus.  Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table.  This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now.  Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
