The Wind Ensemble performed in Murchison Performing Arts Center at the University of North Texas last weekend.  They received a superior rating, Best in Class, Outstanding Sections - clarinets and tubas, and Outstanding Solists - Maya W., Ian W., and Adam D.

The Wind Symphony and Symphony Band students competed at the Lila Cockrell Theater.  These students received Superior ratings, Best in Class, and Outstanding Flute Section!

The Beginning Band competed at Anderson High School and received Superior Ratings and Best in Class!

Monday night was the Advance Band Spring Concert. I heard them practicing that day and it is truly amazing to hear all this talent.

Tuesday night was the AISD Salute.  This is the night when the district honors all the campus Teachers of the Year, Teachers of Promise, as well as other campus individuals.  Ms. Shirack was the GMS TOY, and Ms. Griffing was our Teacher of Promise (a teacher in their first year).  It was a wonderful event celebrating these outstanding educators.

The Spring Choir concert performed Broadway songs from musicals such as Les Mis, Rent, pop songs such as Lucky, Valerie, Viva la Vida, Skyfall, Riptide & Missing You.  It was an outstanding show!

Thursday night, the new National Junior Honor Society students were inducted to the elite organization.  Almost 150 of our students were selected for this GMS Chapter.

GMS also recognized our wonderful volunteers as well as our student office aides with small celebrations for each.

Today, all the incoming 5th graders were on campus. For someone who normally hears the excitement after they return back to elementary school, it was fun being on this side.  They were so nervous!  But after the tour with our outstanding Pal and Leadership students, their fears were laid to rest.



If you haven't registered online for next year, please do so immediately.

Remember we have a 3 day weekend.  Have a safe and fun Memorial Day!
