2) Cellos
The Portland Cello Project will be the single coolest cello show you'll see. For a preview, check out:

All Cellos in the Titan Orchestra program are expected to come to the concert at the downtown public library Loucks Auditorium at 7pm. Tickets will be $5 if we can get advanced tickets - $7 at the door (info about tickets in class or the next newsletter). All students are welcome to attend... this is going to be a neat concert!

Titan Bassi Cellists - YOU DO NOT NEED TO COME TO SINFONIETTA SECTIONALS ON WEDNESDAYS AFTER ALL (it posses too much of an issue with instruments). Your sectional time will be on Thursdays from 2:40 - 3:30. More info in class on Wednesday. Titan Bassi Bass players can choose to come on Wednesdays or Thursdays, or both for some extra 'time on task'.


3) Shirts

Many of you ordered the neon shirts that say "Titan Orchestras" on the front and "Share your gift of music..." on the back. T-shirt price will be $10 and is due by the time you pick up your shirt - shirts will be here Friday or Monday. Please see Ms. S to get your name crossed off once you've put your $10 into an envelope into the grey box. On the envelope, write "tshirt". (Titan Violins - you do NOT need to pay for your shirt... yours are paid for as you are performing on Feb. 8 with them).
