No Advanced Symphony on band concert... CANCELED
Hi all,
Hope you're having a good sled/snow day! At this point, the band concert that Advanced Symphony was to play on (Monday night) has been canceled. If there's school tomorrow, and if we have our orchestra concert, we might have Symphony play on that concert... but stay tuned to email for an official announcement!
If you're cold and/or bored, remember that practicing is a wonderful way of doing something useful that's not academic homework... :)If you want/need some music, look around for some free music - try www.free-scores.com or www.sibeliusmusic.com where you download a scorch music reader to find free music.
More later...~Ms. S

Boston Tour update
Hi, Here's the text from the email Mark and Denise Lowen sent out on Thursday, Dec. 11:
Hi all,
We have great news!We have been working very hard to be conscientious and frugal with the tripcosts for our upcoming trip to Boston.The hard work is paying off. With a few changes we are now able to quotethe trip cost at $900.00 YES WE SAID NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS! A savings of$175.00. Due to some changes in the size of the group and other cost cuttingmeasures we have been able to maximize our trip and reduce costs.These are the changes:
- Attendance for the trip MUST be no lower than 43, including both students and chaperones. Presently there are 53 signed up. The price reduction is based on 43 attending and WILL increase if the total attending is less than 43.
- Trip participants will now be responsible for all their meals on Friday, and Sunday Breakfast and lunch. This gives the traveler more flexibility in controlling meal costs (ie: fast food, sandwiches etc.).The remaining itinerary and other arrangements have not changed.I hope you find this news as encouraging as we do.
So with that in mind we have two deadlines to remember.
DEADLINE #1 IS NEXT FRIDAY - DECEMBER 19TH. THIS IS FINAL ATTENDANCECOMMITMENT DAY. If you are undecided its now time to make that decision.On Nov. 11 each student received a Heritage Festival ParticipationApplication form. This form must be completed, signed by the student andparent and then returned to Ms Silberman by the end of the school day on the19th.
DEADLINE #2 IS FINAL PAYMENT DAY. ALL FUNDS MUST BE IN THE METAL LOCK BOXIN THE ORCHESTRA ROOM BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY ON JANUARY 23, 2009.Once we have our final attendance list put together we will have additionalinformation and paperwork to complete.
If you have any questions feel freeto contact Mark or Denise Lowen at lowen.4@gmail.com
or 503-399-1912.
Have a great Christmas and Holiday Season!
