1) The Salem Chamber Orchestra (www.salemchamberorchestra.org) is performing this weekend - a great concert for review, by the way!!! Only the string section from the orchestra will be performing under a guest conductor's baton. There is a solo piccolo player, Molly Barth, who will be performing the Vivaldi Piccolo concerto. One of the great pieces on the program is the Simple Symphony by Benjamin Britten - a wonderful piece for string orchestra!I can secure free tickets for a few who would like to go - Saturday evening 7:30 and Sunday afternoon 3pm at Hundson Hall at Willamette University (a beautiful place to see a concert!). Please email me by Friday morning how many tickets you would like and I'll get back to you by Friday afternoon with a confirmation.

2) The Wreath and Poinsettia fundraiser VERY LAST DAY is Monday. Don't forget to hit up local businesses!! Anything turned in after Monday may have to be returned, so please do your very best to get the info into the grey box in the orchestra room by 3pm Monday.

3) ALL STUDENTS GOING ON THE TRIP ARE TO SAVE NOV. 11 - 10:30 to 3pm. We'll work on waltz music and start planning the waltz night fundraiser, have some pizza, start getting into the details of the itinerary of the trip, and hand out a packet of fundraising and payment schedule information.

4) Attached to this email is a fundraising letter that students may adapt at will (it's a Word doc). Those who aren't going on the trip who wish to fundraise money for their student account may simply change the wording at the top of the document. If you have money you wish to deposit into your student account, simply put it (cash or check made out to Music Boosters) into a sealed envelope with your name on it and slip it into the grey box in the orchestra room.

5) This next week: Tuesday 2:30 - 3:15 - all violas in the program - time for some VIOLA POWER in the group.
Advanced Symphony 4:30 with the winds and brass
Thursday String Ensemble
Friday Advanced Symphony
See you at conferences and/or have a wonderful weekend!~Daryl S.
