1) Olesya, Eddie, Molly, Katelyn, Lacey, Eugenia, Max, Zevon, Kiara, Meg - and all your parents - thanks for your years of dedication to the orchestra program. The final concert was tearful, and, delightful! Your names will go up on our wall of fame - under this year's State t-shirt. Please stay in touch - this summer we will activate an alumni page on our website... we'd love to hear what you're up to over the years!

2) What's due, when?

Reviews - all due Friday - need the info?: http://www.titanorchestra.com/?page_id=23
Sinfonietta projects - today (Thursday) - need the assignment? http://www.titanorchestra.com/?page_id=23
Chamber projects - Friday - need the assignment? http://titanorchestras.blogspot.com/2010/05/chamber-final-project.html
Make up assignments - Friday
Dresses/tuxes - now!!!!!!
Money for OR Symphony - now!!!
PLOGS - will be returned to you on Mon-Wed of next week...

Any students not turning in money will have that amount turned over to the bookkeeper's office - you won't receive final grades until you've paid up.

3) If you are continuing with the orchestra program next year you have been sent home a packet of materials: commitment requirements for next year, dates (please put them on your calendar... in pencil), teacher list, parent volunteer info (please return), Boot Camp registration, summer repertoire suggestions. If you didn't receive this, please email Ms. Silberman and/or check the website (the info will be up in the Student and Parent information sections)

4) Chamber Orchestra's final project was that students researched a contemporary, living performing musician. They made flyers that are up in the room. Then the musician's info (bio and links) was put up on our other blog - check some of these amazing musicians out: http://titanorchestrasvideo.blogspot.com/- it will be complete by Monday June 14.

5) Parents, please notice the parent volunteer information that was sent home in the packet - we're in need of some more help next year. Please peruse the info and send the form back to school if you have time (a lot or a little) to help our parent booster organization out! Thanks so much!

6) Summer fundraisers for Chicago include car washes and potentially a garage sale. Students who have already paid the deposit for Chicago will be emailed to participate in these fundraisers. Those who haven't paid yet but want to participate may, but later in the summer. More info will be emailed and/or sent home.

Please continue to support music over the summer - there are lots of concerts to go to, music to be checked out and learned (keep an eye on the blog for more info...). I wish you all a musical, happy, and healthy summer. Emails will continue over the summer for some. See you at Boot Camp!

Thanks! ~Ms S (silberman_daryl@salkeiz.k12.or.us)

There is a new google calendar on the blog - www.titanorchestras.blogspot.com - on the right side of the screen - that will have all Titan Orchestra performance dates and times, symphony rehearsals, and other important dates. I will do my best to keep that calendar very active. Please use it often. Hope it helps clear up any questions regarding performances, etc...
