1) Concert info
Next Tuesday, October 23, is our Fall Concert. Students will be performing works by Vince Guaraldi, JS Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Felix Mendelssohn and more. There will be 2 special dedications during the evening - one to Asst. Principal Jim Miller who is serving in Afghanistan and one to Homecoming Queen Lisa Harder. The concert will be at 7pm at the auditorium at West High School. Doors will open to the audience at 6:50pm.
All students report by 5pm, dressed, to the Auditorium (PLEASE BRING HOME INSTRUMENTS!!!)
2) Willamette Valley Fruit fundraiser begins
Students are welcome to pick up a Willamette Valley Fruit Company order form. Frozen pie (large or mini), cobblers, and frozen fruit are offered to students, at the same price (or in some cases, less) than in the stores. Pickup at West will be on November 16 - just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Students will receive $2.50 - 4 for each item sold. Thank you to Melissa Canfield for organizing this popular fundraiser!
3) Many local concerts coming up - review potential!
There are many local performing groups offering concerts these next few weeks. I strongly encourage families to attend local concerts! Students who attend at least the first half of a concert may submit a review of that concert. Here's a short list of concerts coming up - click on the name of the group to be rerouted to their website for more performance and ticket information:
Salem Philharmonia - Oct. 20 and Nov. 17
Salem Pops - Nov. 3
Salem Chamber Orchestra - Nov. 17 (morning free dress rehearsal) and Nov. 18
Oregon Symphony in Salem - Oct. 28
4) Titan Orchestra 'gear' order form will be available at the concert!
At the concert on October 23, we will have order forms available for parents and students who wish to purchase the following Titan Orchestra (or Titan Music) gear: sweatshirts, sweatpants, yoga pants (NEW!), water bottles, and a special Titan Orchestra necklace. I have ordered a few extra Titan Orchestra tshirts that will also be available for purchase. Also any parent interested in purchasing one of our beautiful Titan Music windbreaker jackets for $40 (updated) may order one that evening too.
5) Photo booth will be set up at the concert
Our photographers Evan and Melissa Roth will be at the October 23 concert to take pictures of our orchestras. The Roths will have order forms available for you to purchase these group pictures. They will also be available for portrait (solo or group) photos of musicians that evening. More info about that in a separate email or in next week's newsletter.
6) Check out this video... (Don't miss this!!!!)
Ok - this is so great - all the students saw this in class - it's called "The Argument" and it's Beethoven's 5th Symphony and it's Sid Caeser and Nanette Fabray, and it's so amazing... check it out...
