MEET FREDDIE!

Meet Freddie!  


Freddie has come all the way from Treble Clef Island to meet our awesome Beacons!  He will teach us so much about music as we go on different adventures with him!  I am so excited to have him. 
On my way back from the Music Educators Conference in Winston Salem, I stopped by Treble Clef Island because I had to meet Freddie.  I was telling him how awesome Boger was and he decided he wanted to come live here for the school year.


  
Freddie really enjoyed the fluffy bedding in the hotel room as we were making our way back home...he is a sleepy head in the morning and very difficult to wake!

The picture above shows Freddie with my name tag from the conference.  He was very happy that I came to meet him.




This picture to the left shows Freddie trying to drive us home, but I told him he could not do that....



 
so he rode in my purse!




Stay tuned for more adventures from Freddie as he meets the Boger Beacons starting today!!!

NCMEA conference

I am happy to say that I am spending four days in Winston-Salem, NC for the annual NCMEA conference.  This is a conference for music educators across the state.  There are so many amazing clinics to go to, performances to hear, and things to see.  I arrived yesterday and spent the afternoon and evening listening to the Middle and High School Honors Chorus rehearsals.  Today Elementary, Middle, and High School Honors Choruses had their performances so I went to all of those.  I also went to a clinic that focused on Elementary Choral Literature and I actual got to sing and read though it.  Awesome!  Then I went shopping at all of the vendors and of course I had to get some stuff for my Beacons!

Tomorrow is a full day of clinics.  I am also going to try to look in on some of the great performances during the day as well.  I'm missing my Beacons, but I know they will be in great hands with Mr. Richards.
