Washington Middle School orchestra to perform at Wilma

Click on the link below to read about the middle school orchestra performing at the Wilma Theatre.



This venue could perhaps be open to  other MCPS school concerts.



Oh, what a crying shame for a school orchestra to have to perform in a school gym with basketball

hoops!



Let's not think that our children are too good for gym performances. Granted, perhaps other school districts have access to a performing arts building. We do not at this time. Missoula has chosen other things for which they wish to spend our money. Until we spend our money wisely and our tax burden is dramatically reduced we do not need to discuss paying for a performing arts center. Until then, can't we be happy with just listening to our kids in a school gym?



BTW - some of the best concerts by school children were held in the Rattlesnake gym under the leadership of John  Schuberg. It was crowded, yes, however, the music was fantastic! We did not even think about the hard bleachers or the basketball hoops. Of course, it was part of the experience of attending a school concert.



Let's not get too complicated here.

Missoula school bond measure planning costs top $250,000 : Local

Missoula school bond measure planning costs top $250,000 : Local

Using the funds from the lease of Prescott School to the private school Missoula International School for the district's facility study is a misuse of these funds. Any money spent from this fund needs to go to Prescott's own facility upkeep.
