Homeschool band starting -- deadline is SOON

Hello!
 
     My name is Janna Blomquist and I don't know why it has taken me so long to think of this!! I am a private music teacher in Duluth. I teach both band instruments and piano, having been a band director for over 25 years. When my family moved here to Duluth in 2006, I taught band at Holy Rosary until 2009 when I went into private teaching full-time. I organize area middle school festivals for band students with fellow director Jenna Udenberg from Two Harbors and they are open to both public and private teachers.
 
     The reason I am writing you is because I have also become associated with the Northland Youth Music Program and its director, Bob Greenberg. In addition to providing exciting annual summer music camps in Superior, WI, he and I are trying to begin a Winter Concert Band program called "Winter Winds".  It is a 16-week program that meets on Monday nights from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the alternating locations of Proctor HS. and Superior HS. It will culminate with a concert in May following our last rehearsal on the 7th. This concert band is appropriate for students that are playing at an intermediate level on their instruments. One of the best students I have in my studio is a flute player by the name of Meghan Boster. This is the Boster family's first year of home-schooling and she misses playing in her school band! It is for students like Meghan that we are trying this program. We have been advertising since October in all the music stores and schools and in the press and radio. Unfortunately, we have only gotten a handful of responses and we need at least a dozen more by Friday as the scheduled start date is Monday, the 9th!  Kari Boster gave me your contact information and we are hoping you can help, possibly by posting on the Northland Core blog. I am kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner!
 
     Interested parents should contact Bob Greenberg directly at the numbers below as soon as possible. To find out more about me or watch my students in action, see my website below! I am always open to home school students for piano and a variety of wind instruments.
 
Thank you for ANYTHING you can do!!!
