Fox Hollow May 20th, and May 22nd

GREAT job the other night over at Laredo!  I was very happy with the combined outcome of the concert!

OK.  Hang on,Fox Hollow,  TWO MORE PERFORMANCES.

Wednesday, the evening of the 22nd, is the end of year concert with Mrs. Waldman's choir, and Mr. Fuqua's band.  

Concert begins at 6:30 PM, arrive in library for tuning by 6:00 Concert list is:

French Folk Song- pg.28 in book

Tallis Canon Round- pg 35 in book ...(F sharps on D string, C naturals on A string)

Ode to Joy,   sheet music

March Heroic- from last concert

Dragonhunter- from last concert.

I am open to deleting one of these if we are not ready Monday afternoon. I would like to NOT have class this Wednesday, since you are so busy that evening and next morning.  However, if we need the practice, we will do Wednesday afternoon....so practice up.  

NEXT MORNING, May 23rd, We will play the SAME SONGS, for the school assembly.  If you have been playing with us, and attend another school, you are not required to play for the assembly.  If you attend Fox Hollow, you ARE required to play for this concert. It will be at 9:00 in the morning, so, don't forget to bring your instruments in on Thursday morning!

This will be our last time together.  No more orchestra classes this academic year.

For those of you who will still be in elementary, wishing to continue with classes next year, you are welcome at the magnet program @ Laredo, Mon/Wed evenings from 6:55 to 7:45 PM.  These classes start up the second week of September. There are sister classes @ Campus Middle school on Tuesday/Thursday if the other classes are poorly scheduled for you.  We try to stay cohesive enough with each other, that, a student can choose to go to one Laredo night, and one Campus night if need be.  

 If you are going to orchestra in middle school, you have a wonderful orchestra teacher at Liberty Middle School.

Mrs. Waldman will have orchestra info in her room at the beginning of August, for sign up etc.  We have online sign up now.  You may go to CCEIM.org in the fall, or check my blogspot ...www.gjstrings.blogspot.com

See you Monday aftenoon!!!  I have a surprise for you!

About Prairie MS concert.

Most of my students are not playing at Prairie, the 9th.  It is mostly schools from the west side of the district.  However, a few of you are; those  who have talked with me.  If you have not been there, it can be confusing.  Remember, from Parker North, it's all roads that begin with "P"  Parker, to right on Peoria, to right on Pacific.  Do not pass Pacific, and turn on Jewel.  That would put you at Overland High School. No.  You want Prairie Middle school.  Once you see the school, drive all the way to the back of the school by the trash dumpsters and enter through double doors.  Strings, turn right down first hall, then left into cafeteria, which is on the left side of the gym where that concert will be played.  As always, for these concerts nights, arrive by 6:30, for tuning and placement. I am not directing at this concert.  Follow the director's beat!  I will be helping play.
