In the 2024/2025 school year, I will only be directing  our percussion ensemble in the spring.  Be on the lookout for a sign-up form/QR code in your student's Friday folder.  Due to my involvement as music director for our school's spring musical, Wonka, and other commitments outside of school, I plan to start percussion ensemble in March.  In the meantime, please feel free to email me with any questions!

Were Does The Name Cardinal Collision Come From?!?!

Since we have 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders playing all together, I wanted to pick a name that was inclusive to all of our students, regardless of grade level . . . so I stuck with Cardinals.  A percussion instrument is defined as an instrument that makes its sound by being struck, scraped or rubbed by hand or struck against another similar instrument.  I love alliteration so I looked up synonyms for percussive words and I found the word collision.  I thought it sounded awesome, Cardinal Collision,
because that's what we're doing; colliding in-sync and in-time with music with musicians across the grade levels.  

Pretty cool, right?
