| Encore Homeschool Fine Arts Groups - Bands and Choir
"The Encore Homeschool Fine Arts groups are gearing up for our eighth year. We offer beginning band, intermediate band, jazz band, orchestra, elementary and junior high/high school choir. We have several students that are involved in two or more groups. All groups meet on Friday mornings at The Morris Baptist Center - 146 Indian Ave., Lawrence, KS. - off of Highway 10, in east Lawrence. The tuition is $95.00 per semester. There is a discounted rate for families that have more than one student in a group with the same director. ($95.00 for the first student, $70.00 for second, third, etc...) If your student has not played an instrument before, we will be offering an opportunity to try various instruments to determine what fits the student best. The band/orchestra director, along with some of our high school members will be available on August 13th, from 10:00 - noon to assist students in exploring the possible choices. Please email or call the contact below with questions or to sign up for this opportunity. For students that already play an instrument and want to join one of the groups, auditions will be held on August 27th, from 10:00 to noon. Beginning band/orchestra members do not have to audition. Those wishing a spot in the intermediate level or jazz band should plan to play for the director. (audition music is a piece of your choosing that you are comfortable with and that shows the level you are at) Once an instrument has been chosen, it can be purchased used, through the newspaper or at garage sales. If you are interested in renting an instrument, Meyer Music is a good place to start. In addition to an instrument, each member will need a folding music stand and a required music book. Choir members do not audition but the director will be available on the two dates mentioned to answer any questions.

| Help MPE Spread the Word about Homeschooling to MOPS! |
MPE is currently looking for homeschooling parents who would be interested in speaking at MOPS (Mothers of Pre Schoolers) groups in the area. If you love homeschooling and sharing your enthusiasm with others, then we would love to have you as one of our promoters! We don't need very much of your time - just an hour or two. If your children would like to speak as well, that would be great! Our reason for doing this is to reach mothers with preschool aged children who may be interested in or have questions about homeschooling. If you are interested, please call Jackie Doyel at 913-422-8145 or e-mail her at doyel@everestkc.net.
