Hello!
Just a reminder that the Region 12 Concert is Saturday, December 10th at 4 P.M. at Reagan High School! I would love if our students could attend as audience members to support all the AHISD students who are in the orchestras. The event is free and will count towards 30 minute credit on practice logs. The event showcases students from our area from the 6th grade all the way to 12th grade so it's a great opportunity for everyone to attend! Thanks, Ms. Gil

Hello! I hope your first day of your break has been swell. Yesterday at AHJS was TURKEE DAE; a tradition that has been at the school for many years. Students and teachers are allowed to dress randomly however they liked (with a few guidelines of course!). I brought my selfie stick to school yesterday to capture the madness and join the students in their fun. Since we are preparing for the concert, I thought it would be a good idea to practice with holiday accessories for 3rd period - we have a surprise for you at our concert! It's always fun watching the kids play in costume - cool cello banana became a personal favorite. Check it out below! Lots of pictures! Last Saturday, some of our 7th and 8th grade students competed for a spot in Region Orchestra. We are so proud of all our students and the sheer numbers willing to learn the music to represent our school and program. Thank you to all, and congratulations! Congratulations 7th and 8th Grade Region Students

The two grants will allow for the purchases of a Harmony Director and a portable PA system for our classroom. The Harmony Director is a tool that looks like an electric piano but does so much more. If you are interested in learning about what it does, click here to watch an amazing video about all the functions of the tool. Also, we currently do not have a playback system in our classroom. I am so happy that I will now be able to provide aural models for our students, and perhaps YouTube videos of course! Also, I decided to ask for a portable system, just in case we would like to venture out for more performances out side of school. When the new technology is here, I'll let you know! Hello Everyone! Yesterday during 3rd and 8th periods, I passed out handmade bows for all the students to put on their instruments in preparation for our Holiday Concert on December 12th. We know it's only November, but early birds get the worm! All our students seem so excited that the holidays are near. Check out the fun below: On Saturday, November 5th, some of our 6th grade orchestra students competed for a spot in the Region 12 Bravo Orchestra! Congratulations so those who made it into the orchestra, as well as the students who auditioned and represented our school! Mr. Arambula and I are very proud of all our students who competed! They will be performing as part of this orchestra in December.
