Photos Uploaded to Website

I have uploaded all the photos from the recent show, KIDZ ROCK! They can be accessed from the music room website menu or by clicking here! Some of you may notice that the photos from your act were not included. For those of you who do not see your pictures online at this time, I need to get a Parental Release Form from each parent first. This forms states that I have permission to post images with you in them onto the internet. Without that form I cannot post any of your pictures. The form that I need filled out can be found here. After you get this form filled out and returned to the music room I will be able to upload any images that you can be clearly seen in. Sorry, but rules are rules. For everyone else, please feel free to browse the photos and remember that you put on one amazing show!

As soon as I finish editing some of the video I will be uploading that to the site as well. Keep checking to see when it is finished.

KIDZ ROCK...the follow up!

Well, it was a long and exciting night for the 5th graders of Kocurek Elementary school. We had a great time putting on our talent show, "KIDZ ROCK!" The show was a success! The students had the audience clapping, tapping, rocking along witht he songs. In some cases there were parents dancing and singing along as well!

These students put on one FANTASTIC show. If you were unable to see it you missed a wonderful display of student talent.

WHAT A SHOW! Congratulations to all those who performed. I am very proud of each and every one of you! You are all stars in my book!!!!

Changes to the Music Room Website

For those who visit the website on a regular basis you might have noticed some changes. The Server Host that I use for the Music Room Website has made some changes to their servers and as a result I have had to make some changes to the site in order to keep everything working. Don't worry...all the changes have been minor and to most people, won't even be noticed.

The biggest changes so far are the addition of this blog and the change in the form used to send me email comments and suggestions. Although the Feedback form has changed it has been tested and still works.

The addition of this blog will make it easier for me to update the Music News items without be required to republish the entire website every time I add some news. It is simply a time saver! I will try to make sure all of the important news is hosted on the blog as well as the "Music News" link on the website.

As I make more changes I will update this blog and the music news page to make sure everyone is aware of any changes and how the changes will create a BETTER music room website!

Blogging about Music

I am trying this out to see if it is beneficial to those who use the music room website (MrVansClass.com). I hope to use this as an easier means to update the news and events that are happening within our school and most importantly the things going on within our music rooms.

This first post is simply a test. I will add more after I finish playing around with the tools and hope to keep it updated regularly basis.
