1) We run the band festival tomorrow
Friday (the 12th) we run the Central Valley League Band Festival. It's Salem-Keizer's district band festival. The bands 'compete' for top spot (won by West last year). Students in Symphony are required to work a shift (or two). Thank you to the parents who have already offered to volunteer time - I (Ms S) can use all the help I can get.
2) Saturday performance info!
Saturday (the 13th) is the Salem-Keizer Invitational Orchestra Festival at West. 3 of our groups are playing: Sinfoneitta at 8:30am, Chamber at 11:30am, and Symphony at 3:50pm. All 3 groups will be adjudicated and participate in a timed sight reading session after performing. Parents and friends are welcome to come to the performances! Students have been emailed their call times and all other performance info. Hope it's a GREAT performance day!
3) Congrats to Chamber
Last week at Western Oregon University Chamber performed well and qualified for the State Orchestra Championships! OSAA State is on May 9, during the day. We won't know for a few weeks exactly what time we play. More info later.
4) Assignments due
April 15 - The theory assignment that was due for tomorrow has been extended to Monday (because of the festival).
April 16 - All students must complete the Spring Assignment - adjudicate 2 live performances from the festival Friday and/or Saturday (bands or orchestras). If students are unable to come to performances, there is an alternate assignment they can complete (computer webquest or magazine review). This assignment is due Tuesday Apr. 16!

5) Grading update
Because of the trip and upcoming Festival this weekend, I've fallen behind on registering the Theory Assignments into the grading books. My apologies - it'll all be straightened out next week. Students, please get 'last' assignments in by Monday or Tuesday of this next week so your grade can be updated.
6) Check out this video... (Berlin - original song for 12 cellos - ThePianoGuys)
The Piano Guys at it again. Neat video... check it out...
