No Symphony Friday 12/4

This email was sent 12/1:

Hi Symphony folks (sorry if you're not in symphony but got this email...)

No Symphony rehearsal on Friday - between having few or no winds because of pep band, being down string players who are in band, and knowing that a lot of kids want to go on the bus up to Portland for the semi-final playoff game, we're canceling Symphony rehearsal on this Friday. This is a credit, graded class, so we'll be having to make up this time along the way - probably in February as we get ready for the Carlos Kalmar visit. If you are around (not going to the game) we could *REALLY* use your help unloading wreaths and poinsettias - we were going to have symphony kids help unload at 4:30 on Friday... if you can come back to school or stick around to help, it would fantastic!!!! (Especially if you benefited from this sale... ?)

Next Tuesday's symphony rehearsal (12/8) is considered the MANDATORY DRESS REHEARSAL - be prepared - we will probably call a slightly longer rehearsal (either starting a little earlier or running a little later). Dr. Nail and I are very conscious that there are a lot of concerts and sports obligations these next few weeks - but we want to have you students as prepared as possible for your concert on the 10th!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - and, oh, did I mention PLEASE listen to these symphony pieces as much as possible - how about once a day??? You can listen online at our website - www.titanorchestras.com - and/or get a copy of these pieces (I have a CD you could borrow and/or bring a memory stick to school and I'll give you a copy) for your mp3 player. We're definitely a little short on rehearsal time... but if you listen, and practice, I think we'll be fine for the 10th.

Thanks for all your hard work! GO TITANS!!
~Ms. S and Dr. Nail
