Release the Quackin is the Wabash instrument club. The purpose of this club is to offer students an extended opportunity to perform on classroom instruments at a higher level than is possible during classtime. Instruments include recorders, xylophones and drums. Students with previous knowledge of other instruments such as piano and guitar may also play on those instruments pending director approval. Admission is open to any student in grades 3, 4, & 5 until capacity for a session is reached for 30 students. Students do not need to audition to be part of instrument club but must commit to exemplary behavior and attendance with no more than 2 unexcused absences (illnesses are excused of course!).
Rehearsals are every Tuesday morning before school from 7:15-8:15 a.m. from February through April. There is a one-time $20 fee due at the first practice to cover the cost of our performance t-shirts and a breakfast party at the end of the session. The fee should be paid as cash/ check payable to Wabash Elementary. If this cost is a financial hardship please reach out to Mrs. Jones at katherinejones@wsdr4.org.
