Quick Orchestra update

Boot Camp
Please just reply to Daryl SIberman directly at daryl@daryls.com or silberman_daryl@salkeiz.k12.or.us if you haven't made plans to come and would like to. Again, parents are welcome the first hour on Monday.

Orchestra Boosters
Parents, if you aren't able to stop in on Monday, there will be another meeting time scheduled for parents after school starts. It will be another opportunity to meet Ms. Silberman, go over the handbook given to students the first week of school and answer any questions. We'll also be looking for volunteers for various projects!

After-school Symphony start date: Friday, September 14
This is period 10 on the schedule, Section ID# US4032-003. It meets Tuesdays from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. and Friday after school until about 4:00 p.m.

If you were in after-school Symphony last year, and haven't added it to your schedule yet, please do it! If you weren't in Symphony last year, and would like to be this year, that decision will be made with Ms. Silberman after school starts.

Symphony will start for all string players on the 14th. They will work alone with Ms. Silberman on a variety of pieces - movie scores to classical symphonic works - until the winds and brass join the group after Marching Band ends. Then the combined group is co-directed by Mr. Nail and Ms. Silberman. They have met and are planning an exciting year.

First semester concert dates: October 23, December 11
Exact times coming later, but we know that family calendars fill up quickly.....
