Midsummer fun - and Boot Camp reminder

Hi,

Here's a fun website - you can here clips of the famous Leroy Anderson orchestrations like Fiddle Faddle and Bugler's Holiday... classic old stuff:

(If the link doesn't work, cut and paste - it's worth it!)

Don't forget about Boot Camp, week of Aug 18 - more info coming in the next week or two. Happy Mid Summer...

Early summer info, and a question for you

Hi all! I hope you're having a great summer so far. So far I've taken a train with my kids to the Bay Area, spent a week at the beach, and started my Masters program at Western.

Question for you - do you want to continue next year's blog on this blog or should I get a new name like 'titanorchestra0809@blogspot.com'? Please email me your response at silberman_daryl@salkeiz.k12.or.us (if the link's not working, just cut and paste...)

Sue Love (Ian's mom) has some great links for those of you interested in some web surfing:

For the cellists (who can get on myspace.com), check out Matt Haimovitz' site (I think of him as "Matty" - he was in my youth orchestra and we used to carpool!):

http://www.myspace.com/matthaimovitz

Or you can visit his webpage at http://oxingale.com/
----------------------------------
And here's some info about a really neat contemporary group, Quartet San Francisco (these folks are actually good friends of Danny's and mine from our time living in the Bay Area):

(From Sue Love) Hi Daryl -
I was listening to Minnesota Public Radio at work today and heard Quartet San Francisco perform Under the Sea.
Here are a few links on their page. Including videos on tango bowing techniques. Seems/sounds like fun stuff.
--------------------------
And any of you interested in getting tickets to an amazing concert THIS WEEKEND (JULY 5) check out the link to Mark O'Connor and friends - they're performing at Reed College. These folks will blow your socks off (even in you're not wearing any!!):

Thanks Sue for all the good leads.
Happy July to you all!
