Ford Elementary Tone-Chime Ensemble 678-594-8092
Dear 4th & 5th Grade Parents,
I am putting together a Tone-Chime (tone-chimes are very similar to handbells) Ensemble for the fall semester. This group will rehearse on Wednesday Mornings from 7:15-7:50 during October and November and then perform 3 separate times during December.
Lottery
Due to limited space (17) Tone-Chime ensemble members will be chosen based on a lottery system. Students who return the necessary paperwork will be assigned a number and then 17 numbers will be drawn from a hat. Behavior recommendations from homeroom teachers and parent/student commitment will also be taken into consideration.

I am looking forward to a great musical year at Ford! If you have any questions please e-mail me at craig.hurley@cobbk12.org.
