Interview

[baloney17]

I have an interview with Oswego Middle School tomorrow morning at 9:15am (please say a prayer or 2 if possible). For all my middle school music teacher friends - I have a question. Could you give me a name of a song in each of the NYSSMA levels solo, choir, or both. My elementary school doesn't do solofest in 6th grade (accept a few band students) and so I haven't looked at a manual in like 5 years. I've been asked on a interview before to name a Level 5 song from the manual - I couldn't at the time. I just want to be extra prepared for all of this. This is the job that will get me back home and theoretically make me much more happy (at least family wise) and means so much less traveling from North Country, to Central NY and back. I'm heading to Oswego tonight, going to a rehearsal with Concinnity to be my bit of "ahhh this is home" feeling and then getting a good nights sleep. For the first time I'm not really nervous either. I know almost all the teachers on the hiring committee as they were my old teachers or I subbed for them the year after I finished my masters. I'm hoping that the fact that I've worked in the district for different things AND now have 2 years of my own classroom experience, will be enough to get me the job.

Like I said say a prayer, cross your fingers, whatever you can to ensure this goes well.

Thanks everyone!
