Boot Camp day 4
Great last day for Boot Camp! We warmed up all together this morning and worked on the Tobias Baaken Kanon in D-Dur (D-Major) - all 60+ of us!
Then Sinfonietta and Titan Strings played Hot Hot Hot and Stars and Stripes Forever - great reading and polishing!
Then we were treated to a performance of Frolicsome Finale (Benjamin Britten) by this year's Chamber Orchestra. After Sinfonietta and Titan Strings left, Chamber worked on the first movement of the Tchaikovsky Serenade... pretty good reading too, if I may say so.
Thanks to all who helped organized and attended Boot Camp. And, to those who weren't able to attend, we'll get you all caught up the first week of school. Stay tuned for emails (and blog postings) about the first week of school - there will be lots of information.
Have a great week off before school starts!

Boot Camp day 3
Great work this morning on scale patterns in C major! Not easy! We also explored the "chop" bow stroke some this morning.
Then, we heard UnBande - Ms. Silberman's group featuring violist Danny Seidenberg, cellist Noah Seitz, and guitarist Chris Woitach. We ended with a rousing rendition of the Canadian national anthem followed by Mercy, Mercy, Mercy - pretty cool!
Sinfonietta and Titan Strings read Acrobats today - and reviewed the Giant Slimy Squid from yesterday.
Tomorrow's the last day of camp - no camp on Friday!

Boot Camp day 2
Tuesday started on time - amazingly! - with a quicky workshop on finger action on the finger board. We had 2 visitors today - Zevon who graduated last year and Bekka who will be working with the violin section in Chamber this year.
During Group time today we played some Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, and then some Star Wars, and a quick review of Seasons of Love.
Then we did some bonding activities, including some yoga - apparently Joel is quite the "Crow". Then we headed out to the front lawn for a little water ballooning and some "trust" activities. The popsicles were a welcome treat on this 90 degree day!
Then Chamber rehearsed some with Bekka, then on their own, then with Ms. S, on the Britten. Meanwhile, Sinfonietta and Titan Strings worked on Thom Sharp's Giant Slimy Squid - what a fun piece!
See ya Wednesday!

Boot Camp - day 1
Here's a quick accounting of Boot Camp, day 1:
Registration went smoothly and quickly, thanks to Parent organization president Karen and vice-president Anne! We had 55 students who checked in yesterday - not bad!!!
After a quick introduction of who was there, we did some playing all together. The musical 'tasty treat' of the day was to challenge everyone to play "Seasons of Love" with the CD recording - we'll work on that more today, day 2.
We were treated to an amazing performance by the Schoenard Trio - Eleanora, Ashley and Chas. Eleanora played violin for the Beethoven and Brahms piano trios, and then picked up viola for the Dohnanyi trio. Ashley played piano and then violin. Chas is the cellist (who played the slow movement of the Beethoven most gorgeously!!). What talented, and nice, performers!
Then the WHOLE GROUP read 3 movements of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - a few too many people to do that for a performance, but great reading!
Chamber Orchestra's rehearsal was great - we read and worked on Benjamin Britten's Frolicsome Finale from Simple Symphony. The group took to it quickly - I think we'll 'perform' it on Thursday at the end of Boot Camp.
Day 2 update coming next... :)

Canceled Facebook - for now...
To all students and the few parents who 'friended' Gotscha,
I decided *NOT* to have a facebook page right now. The way I did it was cumbersome. If I do a facebook page, I'll do it differently. What I think we'll do is to have one representative from each orchestra pass messages along to everyone - this way, when I email a newsletter or message out to the orchestras, it can get passed along to everyone on facebook (in case they don't check email).
Thanks!

Boot Camp - lots of info
This was emailed Saturday August 21 - if you did not receive this email, contact Ms. S!
Hi all! Boot Camp time! There's lots of information for everyone below:
0) Is it required that I attend Boot Camp?
1) How do I register - what if I need another copy of the registration paperwork?
2) What do I owe - how much is Boot Camp and who has to pay?
3) What if I have sports or band camp and can't come to most or all of Boot Camp?
4) What if I already paid?
5) Can I sign up for Music Day at Boot Camp?
6) If I'm a cellist, do I need to bring my cello?
7) Are there instruments for me to borrow for Boot Camp?
8) What's the Boot Camp schedule - who's performing and when/what is happening next week?
9) Will I get my performance outfit at Boot Camp?
0) Is it required that I attend Boot Camp?
Yes - all enrolled students are expected to attend Boot Camp. But, if you contacted Ms. S about a previous conflict (un-moveable family vacation or other conflict) or you have a sports or marching band conflict, you are excused. That said, please read the information below under number 3 - you still should try to make some of Boot Camp. Boot Camp is where we reunite you with your instrument, get your head back into the 'orchestra game', make connections that will last throughout the year, hear and play some great music, and get a chance to get ready for the school year before the craziness of the first week.
1) How do I register - what if I need another copy of the registration paperwork?
Registration is on Monday morning from 8:30 - 9am - please don't come *at* 9am and expect to register quickly. You were sent materials in June, but in case you have misplaced them, go to our website - www.titanorchestras.com - and on the front page you can download the document. YOU NEED A PARENT SIGNATURE ON THE REGISTRATION DOCUMENT IN ORDER TO ATTEND BOOT CAMP. A parent may come with a student at Boot Camp registration and complete the document there (we'll have extras printed out). If you've already filled out your paperwork, just check in on Monday morning and make sure everything's correct.
2) What do I owe - how much is Boot Camp and who has to pay?
There is a $40 fee for Boot Camp. Checks can be made out to WSHS Music Boosters. This fee goes towards snacks, materials, and guest artists. If you are on free/reduced lunch or have other financial hardship, you may ask for a waiver for Boot Camp, but in exchange, your name will be placed on a volunteer list - 4 hours of time will be asked of you over the course of the year.
3) What if I have sports or band camp and can't come to most or all of Boot Camp?
If you have sports camp or tryouts or marching band camp you do not need to pay. But, for some, you may be able to attend some of Boot Camp. It's an important bonding and technique time for our orchestras - without you, both our group and you don't get the full benefit of the early start. Please do what you can to make even an hour of Boot Camp:
Marching Band - You can ask Mr. Zimbelman at the beginning of any rehearsal whether it's a good time to go to some Boot Camp. Consult the schedule below, then consult your marching band schedule and see if you can make even an hour - maybe a performance, or one rehearsal - just to get your head partially back in the orchestra game.
Football - Coach Stanley knows that a few of you are orchestra people. Please come to Boot Camp during your lunch - and if you can get away, ask the coach to release you 15 minutes early, if it's possible.
Cross Country - it sounds like there's not too much conflict - see if you can ask to complete a run early, if you can. Try to make as much of Boot Camp as you can.
Volleyball - Coach Armstrong is a great supporter of orchestra, but tryout week is very important. You can approach the coach, if you feel it's a good time, and ask if there's any way to skip out for an hour to come to the orchestra room.
4) What if I already paid?
When you register, just make sure that we have your payment recorded on the sign-in sheet. Some of you already turned checks in, want to use student accounts (for 10th-12th graders), or paid at Back-to-Business days. We'll make sure you get credit for having paid. If you do not bring payment on Monday, you will bring home a note to remind you to bring the fee Tuesday (but, as long as you have your paperwork in, you may stay for Boot Camp).
5) Can I sign up for Music Day at Boot Camp?
But, of course! Music Day is on September 11 from 8am - 3pm and is our biggest fundraiser for the music department. ALL STUDENTS IN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA AND SINFONIETTA MUST PARTICIPATE IN MUSIC DAY. 10th GRADERS IN TITAN VIOLINS MUST PARTICIPATE TOO. 9th graders in Titan Violins can opt to participate if they wish. At Boot Camp we'll have sign up sheets for cars (for students who will be suiting up and walking door-to-door), drivers (time to coax your parents into helping!!!), and for those wishing to work the day in the room (doing instrument inventory and library work). Don't forget to sign up!
6) If I'm a cellist, do I need to bring my cello?
Not a bad idea. We'll have 10-12 cellos in operation, but maybe not enough for all the cellists. If it's easy enough for you to bring your cello, please do - you can keep it there for the 4 days. But, if you don't have time or wherewithal to do that, then you may use a school instrument (we might have to do a little bit of sharing).
7) Are there instruments for me to borrow for Boot Camp?
Of course - we have school violas, violins, cellos, and basses. But, to be sure you have an instrument, if you *can* bring your own, please do.
8) What's the Boot Camp schedule - who's performing and when/what is happening next week?
MONDAY
8:30 - 9am Registration
9am - group welcome - parents welcome for first 30 mins.
9:30 - Group technique and play along
10am - special performance - Schoenard Trio
10:50 - break (snack provided - bring a drink though).

9) Will I get my performance outfit at Boot Camp?
Very likely. The goal is to get dresses and tuxes out to Chamber Orchestra and Sinfonietta students. Titan Strings will not be using school-issued outfits this year.
See you Monday!

For those going on the Chicago Trip... deposit in already...
This was emailed out to all who have paid the deposit for the Chicago trip. Incoming Freshman - you'll be eligible for these fundraisers as soon as you get to West and get the Chicago info.
If you have already paid your deposit but haven't received emails about the garage sale or car washes, email Ms. S (silberman_daryl@salkeiz.k12.or.us) or Karen Tatman (music@team-tnt.com) - here's the message:
Summer Garage Sale Fundraiser
A message from Kathy Mccauley....
Hello all!!
I just wanted to give you a little more information regarding the garage sale I will be hosting at my house. First, I have only received emails from 3 students so I'm assuming those 3 students are the only ones wanting to participate. If you haven't emailed me and want to participate, then please email me soon. I won't have enough tables for you if I don't know you are coming.
The only things I expect are the following:
1. Price your items before bringing them to my house
2. You work at least a two hour shift during the two days.
3. Email me and let me know what two hours you are willing to work.
I'm planning on the garage sale running from 8am-1pm on August 20-21. It could run longer if another adult wants to stay to run it. I also need students to help Makayla make signs during that week and then guarantee that at least 1-2 of you will be at my house the night before to go with us to post signs. I will drive, but putting them up is a big job and we will need your help. I am not going to put an ad in the paper because it is very expensive, I will post it on Facebook and Craigslist. That is why it is very important for us to make several signs so we can advertise well in West Salem.
Thanks and email me at mccauleyclannorth@comcast.net
or call me at 503-269-1265 if you have questions.
Kathy Mccauley
A BIG thank you goes to Kathy for helping those students out who want to start earning money towards the trip.

Two of the special performances earlier in the week will include the Schoenard Trio (piano, violin, cello) from Ashland (seniors in high school), and Unbande (Ms S' group playing jazz, blues, and classical crossover). And, for all you who are wondering, yes, we will do 30 mins of yoga again this year (yay!). And this year I *think* we'll be having a water balloon toss at some point... stay tuned.
I look forward to seeing you and your instrument by 9am on Monday August 23rd! (Those of you in sports or marching band, I'll be in touch with you to see how much of Boot Camp you will be attending... hopefully we can get a few hours of string time into your hands...)
