We were fortunate again to host a visit by the fabulous Illinois State University String Project last week! The String Project is a program through ISU that teaches students 3rd grade and older to play a string instrument. Get your student an early start on playing an instrument!

Informational meeting TONIGHT at ISU's Cook Hall. Try instruments, meet the teachers, and see whats in store!

WOW what a great few days of performance! It may be summer, but Prairieland’s Cougars are still out singing, dancing, acting, and making people smile!

Congrats to all who performed with ISU String Project, Community Players Theatre, Music Connections Foundation, and the Town of Normal theater camp!

4th grade families!

This is the culminating event in our instrument unit. Your student has the opportunity to come in and try up to four different instruments before deciding whether to join orchestra or band in fifth grade.

The event is free and open to all fourth grade students in Unit 5. We’d love to see every student attend this event and play an instrument next year.

Hope to see you there!

In the 1890 opera Prince Igor, the mighty prince assembles an army and is preparing to depart for battle when an unexpected Solar Eclipse occurs. The army is suddenly unsure of its prospects but the prince sees it as a positive sign and continues plans.

Upon completion of the eclipse, the army and its entourage sings Glory, Glory to the Radiant Sun.

Enjoy the eclipse and protect your retinas!
