congratulations!!!

Congratulations to all the members of Uri-Nuri! What wonderful performances you had yesterday and today! Yesterday's dress rehearsal in front of the whole school was so beautiful. Today's performance for the parents was even more beautiful. You all played very very well. I still can't believe how well you played after just a few practices! I'll show you the video at this Friday's practice.

Remember to bring something to share at the potluck if you can! We will be celebrating at 1:00pm in the MPR.

A BIG BIG thank you goes out to all the parents who helped out with our performance yesterday and today! It would not have been possible without the help of the amazing Mrs. Borbe and Mrs. Relosa!

last practice before our performance!

YES, we do have practice this Friday, even though it's Parent Conference Week! Please come for our last practice before we have to perform on Monday AND Tuesday!

We are thinking of having a holiday party for Uri-Nuri on Friday, December 18, so keep an eye out for updates. =) Keep practicing!

Great practice!

We had such a great practice session today! You all are so amazing! We're definitely ready to perform for our school winter holiday assembly. I'm very proud of how you all are progressing in your drumming.

Just remember, we still do have regular practice next Friday during the week of parent conferences.

For the performance, we are playing these goots (rhythms):

1. In-sa goot (greeting)
2. Ban Poong Ryu
3. Hwimori
4. In-sa goot

We'll do great! Keep practicing and I'll see you all next Friday!
