The concert outfit for this concert is simple - dress nicely. No jeans. No tennis shoes. No sleeveless shirts. No short skirts (skirts below the knee!). No high heel shoes. Dress like you were going to visit your grandmother. The reason for the change in this concert outfit is that the Big Trip folks need to have black clothes and Titan Orchestra shirts packed in their bag.2) Big Trip time! Follow the BlogBig Trip students and Chaperons are off at 4am tomorrow morning. You are welcome to follow the Blog of the trip - hopefully, there'll be an update each evening. Students will perform 3 times, see 4 performances including a Broadway musical (Spiderman!), see the Stradivarius instrument collection in DC, tour Juilliard, and more! 3) OR Sym concert Friday nightFor those not on the Big Trip, there's a great concert here in town Friday night - the Oregon Symphony in Salem, at Smith Hall at Willamette University. Concert is at 8pm and $5 student tickets should be available at the door. The concert features the Rachmaninoff Piano Concert #1 and a Dvorak Symphony. For more info on the concert, click here: http://www.orsymphony.org/salem/4) Boot Camp planning...Amazingly, it's already time to gently start thinking about next year. Boot Camp is a "mandatory" part of our program. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW! Orchestra Boot Camp occurs 2 weeks before the start of school. There is a fee for Boot Camp - $40 - payable in August, that goes towards snacks and guest artists. This is our opportunity to come together as a program - from entering 9th graders through veteran seniors - to play both for and with each other. Additionally, students will be treated to wonderful guest performers - from all over Oregon! All students enrolled in orchestra for the 2013-14 school year are required to attend Boot Camp (Students who absolutely cannot attend because of family vacation or sports are of course excused). Chamber Orchestra members will be required to come Monday August 19 for the day 10am - 6pm (evening sleepover is optional). Sinfonietta and String Orchestra members come Tuesday - Friday August 20-23 from 9:30am - 12:30pm, Chamber stays over an additional hour, until 1:30pm. On Friday the 23rd, the camp ends with a final performance at Noon and everyone is dismissed afterwards. Parents are welcome to come to that performance.5) Thank you - and Big Trip 2015 (?!)Thank you to all the parents who have fundraised like crazy to get students off to DC and NY. Huge thanks to Geoff Winkler (and wife Carrie, our booster president) for countless hours of work. And just so you know, planning will begin next Fall for the Big Trip 2015 trip. A committee will be put together to research options - domestic and international. Montreal? Boston? Ireland? SF? 6) Check out this video... (Spiderman!)
Those on the Big Trip will be seeing Spiderman The Musical in NY this Saturday. Here's a preview:
