1) Last chance to review live concert 5/31
If you haven't seen a live concert and the turned in your review within 2 weeks of seeing the concert, you'll have a chance to see a 'live' concert at school on May 31 after school. I'll broadcast a Berlin Philharmonic "Virtual Concert" from the computer - you may review that concert. You're welcome... :)
2) 2013 Big Trip "soft" announcement
The Titan Orchestra program is happy to announce the 2013 Big Trip. Here are quick details (more info will roll out this next week):
When: March 21 - 25 (5 days, 4 nights)
Where: Washington DC and NY
What: 3 concerts, Smithsonian, Julliard, Broadway show, NY Philharmonic
How much: $1700 (this is the 'no higher than' price)
Deposit: $100 - non refundable - due June 11
Who: 1st priority to all students (9th - 12th) enrolled in symphony and 6 chaperones, next order of priority goes to Sinfonietta non-symphony members
More details will be made available to parents and students. We're very excited about this trip because of the performance opportunites, clinic experiences, and the action-packed itinerary. It's going to be another great Titan trip!
3) Don't forget to watch yourselves this weekend
CCTV will be broadcasting the performances from last week's State Championships. Here's when you can see yourself (I believe it's channel 22 or 23 on Comcast cable - don't know about DirecTV):
String Orchestra: Wilson, Lakeridge, West Salem, North Salem, Grants Pass - May 19, 6pm, May 22 1pm, May 23, 4pm
Full Symphony: Grants Pass, West Salem, South Salem - May 20, 9pm, May 21 8pm, May 23 noon
4) Summer lessons
A great idea for the summer is to consider taking some lessons. You can probably get a good 6 - 8 lessons in depending on your vacation schedule. A list will be made available to you in the next week or two. Violins in Chamber Orchestra will be asked to join the "Violin Class" that Ms Silberman and Danny will be teaching - this is to strengthen the core of our violins in that program. If other sections or groups of students would like to have us teach a group class, please let us know and we'll see what we can work out.
5) Final projects
All students have a final project that will be due June 6 or 7, other than the concert review. Students have been given these assignments in class, but the information will be emailed home and posted on the blog next week, in case you lose your information. The projects are as follows:
Chamber - Favorite Music Quote
Sinfonietta and Titan Orchestra - Composer poster or Living performer flyer
6) Orchestra Awards for students - bring desserts!
Wednesday evening at 6:30pm we have the Commons. Orchestra leadership will help decorate. All students are asked to attend - parents are welcome, but we're not performing, just celebrating the years. The booster organization will provide punch - students are asked to bring a dessert (store bought, supposedly) for 3-6 people... we should have plenty on hand that way... yum! Let's celebrate a great year in the Titan Orchestra program!
