FHS Marching Band<br />
The FHS Marching Band began rehearsing this year’s program during camp<br />
at Interlochen Center for the Arts in northern Michigan this summer (this year’s<br />
seniors are above). This year’s program is called “Darkest Before the Dawn,” and is<br />
a play on the phrase “it’s always darkest before the dawn,” in that the show starts<br />
dark and ominous, and musical and visually things go from bad to worse—a<br />
journey from great darkness into light.<br />
Prelude for Piano, Op. 34, No. <strong>14</strong> by Dmitri Shostakovich,<br />
Prophecy of the Earth by David Gillingham, Medea’s Dance of Vengeance by<br />
Samuel Barber, Redemption of a Fallen Angel by David Gillingham. ALL members<br />
of the band will be dressed VERY darkly for the first 3/4 of the show, but then at<br />
the crucial moment when the show ‘hits bottom,’ there is a huge color palette<br />
change (with lots of happy yellow and white), as well as a big musical change. The<br />
band will be performing at the following shows and times dates this fall:<br />
Novi HS Sept. 22<br />
BOA Regional @ Silverdome Oct. 6<br />
Clarkston HS Oct. 20<br />
Lakeland HS Oct. 27<br />
MCBA Finals @ Ford Field Nov. 3<br />
This year’s drum majors are: Joe Milobar, Junior and Mallory Fuller, Senior.<br />
Guard captains are: Meghan Carney, Heather Proimos and India Solomon.<br />

FHS Orchestra<br />
The FHS orchestra camp took place at Sherman Lake YMCA in Augusta, MI<br />
this August. Students got back in playing shape through sectional and ensemble<br />
rehearsals, and team building activities such as group initiatives and a low ropes<br />
course. Orchestra camp a good mix of music, self discovery, and team building,<br />
which makes for a great springboard to start the year. Orchestra concert dates:<br />
10/30: HS Hijinx and Hilarity Concert – 7:30 p.m.<br />
12/17: HS Winter Concert – 7:30<br />
12/18: 5-8 Orchestra Concert – 6:30 p.m.<br />
1/26: All City Extravaganza – FHS<br />
5/15: 4th Grade Beginners Concert – 6:30 p.m.<br />
5/21: 5-8 Orchestra Concert – 7 p.m.<br />
5/22: HS Spring Concert – 7:30 p.m.<br />
The Hijinx and Hilarity Concert has become an annual audience favorite. Orchestra<br />
shares the concert with the choir to present a concert that is family friendly<br />
but “not your normal concert.” This year’s theme is movies, and some of the<br />
music the orchestra is considering playing includes: “The Magic of Pixar” (medley<br />
featuring the music of Cars, Finding Nemo, Up, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Toy<br />
Story), a Lion King Medley, “Reflection” from Mulan, “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les<br />
Miserables, “Somewhere Out There” from An American Tail, and a Medley from The<br />
Prince of Egypt. The audience is invited to come in costumes, and it has been a full<br />
house every year. —Photo Credit: Audrey Langley<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Roosevelt Field Day<br />
Despite the wet weather and holding the field day<br />
indoors, Roosevelt students, staff and parents had a<br />
great day of learning, laughter, fun and friendship.<br />
Principal Dina Rocheleau says, “The purpose of<br />
having a ‘field day’ at the beginning of each year is to<br />
celebrate being at school, working together as a team<br />
and collaborative game experiences. There were many<br />
stations that students had to work together to complete<br />
the activity. Collaboration is so important for<br />
school-aged children to learn and understand. It<br />
involves working together, problem solving and high<br />
level thinking skills.<br />
“Another focus for our field day is for parents to<br />
attend and get to know their child’s new friends and<br />
parents. I overheard two moms talking at the end of the<br />
day for a ‘playdate’ this weekend!”<br />

Important Reminder about<br />
School Improvement Mondays<br />
What: This school year, the district’s K-12 schools have begun a new, rigorous K-12<br />
School Improvement initiative among all teachers, principals and instructional leaders.<br />
The initiative, called “School Improvement Mondays,” will use the focus of Data Teams<br />
with a goal of increasing student performance.<br />
When: There will be School Improvement Mondays throughout the school year. On<br />
these days, all students across the district will be dismissed 55 minutes early.<br />
Why: The early release once each week provides teachers with structured time to<br />
collaborate in rigorous and focused Data Teams meetings to examine student work,<br />
review data, determine instructional strategies, and monitor implementation and<br />
student progress.<br />
Info for Parents: To accommodate parents on School Improvement Mondays, the<br />
district will offer safe options for those parents whose children who need supervision<br />
during the 55-minute early release. At the elementary level, an affordable K-6<br />
School Age Child Care option is being offered. Latchkey will be provided on School<br />
Improvement Mondays for children to remain at school until the regular dismissal<br />
time. The additional hour will be offered at no charge to families already enrolled in<br />
School-Age Child Care. For students using Latchkey for the one hour only on School<br />
Improvement Mondays, and not enrolled in daily Latchkey, there is no registration fee.<br />
See the sidebar for rates and options for older students.<br />
