What's a BLOG???.... and what are we blogging about?

from blogger.com --

A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.
Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.
And we're pretty sure the whole deal is just getting started.

So, we hope to get this “blog thing” started right here at NHSME. Well, we actually did and you’re here already -- it really was quite easy! This will be a blog for all parents, students and teachers to share their world of music with each other. The website will be maintained by the Performing Arts Music Booster Club and be open to anyone who wants to participate. Our main purpose is to get a handle on our kid’s schedules (the ones that never make it home in the backpacks) -- practice times, rehearsals, concert dates, trips, fundraising info, and so on. Our other goal is to come together as a group to assist our music teachers.

As you know, our music teachers go over, above, and beyond the call of duty in providing our kids with the music environment they are fortunate to be part of.
Budgets are stretched everywhere and the majority of clubs and sports teams are now supported by the parents paying fees to participate. We would be in great shape as a Booster club if every music family paid the membership fee. This is not a requirement to participate in the music programs though. We send a letter home in the mail every September asking for parents to join, but our response isn’t usually very large. So, we do need help with our fundraising goals and this Blog will hopefully help us accomplish them. Also, it will provide parents with up to date information on what’s going on in their kid’s world of music - since we have to get them there.

Put NSHME on your favorites today. Now you can be the first to know.

Enjoy your new music blog!
