1) Concert details for Monday night
Monday night is our year-end final concert at 7pm in the Auditorium. Here are details:

Dress - black from shoulder to toes. Seniors may wear anything they'd like that's formal

Call time - 5:30pm on stage. Don't need to be dressed in black. Pizza dinner at 6:30pm, then you'll dress and be on stage by 7pm. PLEASE BRING HOME INSTRUMENTS!

Senior parents - bring tissue! We'll invite you up on stage to give your graduate a flower before he/she plays our traditional senior farewell - Ashokan Farewell.

PARENTS - Is anyone available to help with pizza Monday night? Maybe around 6:15pm?????


2) Concert review opportunity Sunday
This Sunday, June 2, my singer-songwriter friend from Colorado, Darryl Purpose and I will be performing at the Hayloft Concert Series in East Salem. This is a fun evening of folk music... storytelling, good friends, enjoyable music. Please don't come if you're not intending on staying for the whole night. The Hayloft Concert series here in town is a much loved series. It takes place upstairs in an old hay loft on Sharon Moore's property in East Salem. People tend to come an hour or so early to reserve their seats and then picnic on Sharon's grounds. The concert is intimate - it's a definite 'listening audience'. West students, families and friends, are more than welcome, but these concerts often sell out just based on their regular members attending - so, if you'd like to attend, be serious about coming on time. If you would like to go, email my private email address and I'll give you the rest of the info: daryl@daryls.com

3) Last chance review after school Wednesday
There is a special opportunity for all of you who did not get a chance to do a live review. The Skyros String Quartet from Nebraska is on tour in the area and they will perform at West at 2:30pm on Wednesday June 5. You may review this concert - it's a Win-Win for us all. By the way, even if you DID turn in your review, it's a great chance to hear a great string quartet. The review will be due Friday the 7th. 

4) Final Assignment - due Tuesday
You have an assignment due Tuesday June 4. The assignment has been handed out in class and you have the info on the blog. Everyone needs to turn in/email their info to Ms S by Tuesday June 4. Seniors will present that day - the rest of you will present Wednesday and Thursday.

5) Next Year Chamber meeting Monday June 10, 6:30pm
Next year's Chamber group needs to have a PARENT STUDENT meeting to set schedules and expectations, and to talk about the possible trip next October. We'll meet Monday evening June 10 at 6:30pm in the orchestra room. All those in Chamber next year are expected to attend and have at least one parent there too.

6) Dresses and tuxes
There will be a sign up list on the orchestra room door for you to let me know if you have clothes that belong to West. This mainly pertains to those in Symphony/Chamber. Here's some info about your black clothes, if you have them:

Seniors - please wash and return your black dresses. Boys - if you have tuxes (pants or jackets) please return them to the closet!!!

All others - if you dress/tux pants fit, keep them - mark that on the sheet on the door. If your dress doesn't fit, wash it, hang it up, and them mark that you need a new one on the sheet.

We'll order new dresses and boys' clothing for those in Symphony/Chamber next October.


7) Do you have a West instrument at home?
If you have a West instrument at home, I will need to count that instrument in our West inventory the last week of school. Please either bring the instrument in or come talk to Ms S to get the summer 'rental' form!!
