1) Fundraiser Update
Good job selling Entertainment Books - books or money was due Tuesday Oct. 5. You will be contacted if you haven't turned in your money or books. The total amounts will be tallied and you'll see money in your student accounts soon.

Wreaths and Poinsettia fundraiser has begun - these are beautiful plants. If you don't understand how to use the packet, please ask Ms S to show you how to register all the info. Make sure you are available to pick up your plants at the designated times - Friday Dec. 3 and Saturday Dec. 4.

2) UnBande performance this Sunday
Ms Silberman's group, Unbande, is performing a recital at the Downtown Public Library - Loucks Auditorium - on Sunday October 10 at 2:30pm. Seats usually fill up fast for this series, so please come early - it's a free concert, part of the Camerata Musica series.

3) Great deal on an electric violin at EVS
The Electric Violin Shop - www.electricviolinshop.com - has an unbelievable deal on an awesome electric violin - only $399 for a WAV violin. Great holiday present idea? I'm not sure about viola or cello, but it's worth it to take a look at the deal: Electric Violin Deal

4) St. Olaf's reminder
Titan Strings and Sinfonietta are providing the food for the St. Olaf's Symphony orchestra dinner on Oct. 18 - please bring your food/drink/dessert by 3:30pm. Titan Strings are serving the food - you need to be here at school by 4:30 to help prep the tables. The concert is at 7pm - all students and parents, and community members, are welcome. It's an exciting concert, including Mahler's Titan Symphony (the 1st - just one movement) and Mozart's Overture to the Magic Flute (one of my favorites!). All students may use this as their concert review... just think, you'd be done with your review months before the semester is over! Cool!

5) Metropolitan Opera broadcast at local movie theatre
Check this out - you can actually SEE a Metropolitan Opera live broadcast without paying $75-200 per ticket! They do live broadcasts at Salem's Regal Santiam Stadium 11. The first broadcast is this weekend - for more info: http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201010061027/UPDATE/101006020

6) An updated Waltz Night/Chicago orchestra schedule
Here's a corrected Waltz Night/Chicago orchestra schedule (all this info can be found on the Google calendar too):

7) Ms S blogged about the Hilary Hahn concert
