1) Student baskets for Titan Auction
Students - you received an email with info about your class basket. Please bring money and/or items on Tuesday! Everyone is expected to participate - even a very little bit will help. Here are the themes once again: String Orchestra - Pasta Night. Sinfonietta - Breakfast. Chamber - Date Night.
2) Titan Auction - parents
Parents - please see your email for information about Titan Auction. Currently, we will be under budget by $1000-2000 this year (money that goes to coaches, fees, and scholarships) if we don't have a good showing at Titan Auction. Please come to the Auction or consider donating - even a little will help. Thank you.
3) Lisa
I'm guessing that you have heard by now, but our very own Lisa Harder passed away this past week - on Sunday morning, Nov. 4. She was in String Orchestra and Sinfonietta for years as a violinist, and sometime aide. The celebration of her life was beautiful - she will be so missed. Thank you to junior Allie Liable for playing her guitar at the beginning of the celebration. Lisa meant so much to me personally, and to this program. She once said to a fellow students "Always remind people to share their gift of music" which is where we took the phrase "Share your gift of music... ~Lisa Harder" from. I will continue to use that as a motto for our orchestra program for years to come.
4) Library is being updated (online)
Students - you should be watching/listening to your music daily (oh, and practicing too, please). The Library on our website is almost all updated. Those of you going on the Big Trip, pick a Waltz everyday to review. Here's the direct link to our library: http://titanorchestra.com/?page_id=8
