Boot Camp Day 3!

What a treat to have Tatiana Hargreaves and Scott Law come to play for us today! Many of us had not heard this kind of old-time folk music, but all of us enjoyed seeing this amazing young lady play and sing! Here's Tati's website in case you're interested in buying her CD's or going to a concert of hers:

Tati goes to Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis, so we might see her at some of the competitions where our orchestras play on stage together.

Also, anyone interested in going to hear Vasen - the amazing instrumental group from Sweden who Tati will be playing with next year - check out this website (many of may be carpooling down to go hear them):

Thanks to coach Bekka Scott for leading warmups this morning!

Titan Orchestra and Sinfonietta played a Merle Isaacs arrangement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #5 - we'll play that for the parents tomorrow at 11:30. Chamber worked with baroque cellist Joanna Blendulf (from Eugene and Portland Baroque Orchestra) - what a wonderful experience!

Tomorrow, please remember it's our last day of Boot Camp - bring any fees, waivers, or registration forms that are due. We'll have a water balloon toss after we play at 11:30.

Here's to one more day of Boot Camp - hurrah!
