Titan Orchestra Newsletter #17 

Assignment extended to Wed

Contained within...
1) Revised deadline for assignment
2) Trip meeting Tuesday 2/19 - Mandatory!
3) SYMPHONY COMPETES AT FOX March 8, afternoon

4) Concerts coming up - good for reviews!
5) Check out this video... (The Piano Guys - Taylor Swift) 

1) Revised deadline for assignment
Because I was sick this past week, I will do a lesson next Tuesday in all 3 classes that will help students complete the Theory assignment that would have been due tomorrow. The revised deadline for turning the assignment in is now Tuesday the 20th. The assignment has to do with the Circle of 5ths. Here's a great website that explains the concepts, in case any students are not in class next Tuesday: http://www.studybass.com/lessons/harmony/the-circle-of-fifths-diagram/

2) Trip meeting Tuesday 2/19 - Mandatory!
All students, with at least one parent, and chaperons going on the Big Trip need to be present on Tuesday February 19 at 7pm in the orchestra room. We'll be going over the itinerary, packing tips, travel protocol, discipline contracts, and more. The trip is only 5 weeks away... getting very exciting! (It's almost time to start checking the Weather)

3) SYMPHONY COMPETES AT FOX March 8, afternoon
Very exciting news! Symphony *will* be competing at George Fox after all! This date *had* been on the calendar, then was removed in January because they gave us a 'way too early' time slot. But we just heard that we can have an afternoon timeslot around 2pm. So, Symphony will indeed compete. This is great news! If we qualify for OSAA State this early in the season, it'll give us time to mature and grow for the District competition in April. More details will be coming to Symphony students in the next few weeks. The buses will likely return around 4pm on March 8.

4) Concerts coming up - good for reviews!
Today, Thursday 2/14, Symphony is going to hear the Central Washington University Symphony Orchestra perform at South Salem High School - you may use this concert for a review. Sunday, the Salem Chamber Orchestra has their Family Concert - free concert - at North Salem High School at 3pm. Going to be a fun concert. You may use that concert for review. Next week, All City concert at North Salem High School is on Saturday the 23rd at 7pm. You may use that concert for review. Also on Saturday the 23rd the Salem Philharmonia performs at Chemeketa at 7pm. You may use that concert for review. Just remember that the reviews need to be turned in within 2 weeks of the concert date.

5) Check out this video... (The Piano Guys - Taylor Swift

The Piano Guys are at it again. This is a lovely Taylor Swift song - in time for Valentine's Day... enjoy:
