To do this summer: Make music! Dance!

Gull Lake band members who are now in 5th, 6th, or 7th grades might want to add musical fun to their summer with Summer Band 2007. Classes run June 26 through July 26 and are divided by instrument and years of experience. (Don't worry if you have to miss some classes.)

For students with ONE year of experience (mostly 5th graders going into 6th), join Woodwind 1, or Brass Class 1, 10 to 11 a.m.

For students with TWO years (6th going into 7th), join Woodwind 2 or Brass Class 2, 11 a.m. to noon.

For 7th graders going into 8th grade, try the Jazz Experience, noon to 1 p.m.

All classes meet at Ryan Intermediate School Band Room and cost $35 per student.

To reserve your spot, call Kelly at 269-629-5880, ext. 3005.



Younger children, ages 4 through 6, might enjoy dance classes this summer. This introduction to ballet teaches positions of the feet, traveling movements such as turns and jumps, and good stretching and exercise habits. A 6-week session is offered at two times of day by instructor Sabrina Parshall.

Each 6-week session costs $30 and meets Tuesdays from July 17 to August 21 at Wildermuth Gym.

Session 1: 12:30 - 1:15 p.m.
Session 2: 1:30 - 2:15 p.m.
