1) Saturday, April 12, at North High School's auditorium is the Salem-Keizer Invitational Orchestra festival. Both the Advanced Orchestra and Advanced Symphony are playing. Groups from all the district's high schools will be performing approximately every 30 minutes.
For those not in those orchestras (parents welcome!), please come support our orchestras. Advanced Orchestra performs at 11 a.m. Advanced Symphony performs at 2:45 p.m., although the performances may not run exactly according to schedule. Students, you may use this for review credit. FOR EVERY 2 GROUPS YOU REVIEW, YOU RECEIVE 1 CONCERT REVIEW CREDIT. Just think about it! You could satisfy the entire semester's assignment just for reviewing groups for 2 hours.

2) Judgement Day played here on Wednesday April 9 - about 50 students, a handful of teachers and some parents were in attendance for what was simply a really “cool” experience. Anton and Lewis Patzner and Jon Bush put on an amazing show. Many students bought CD's and shirts. We're hopeful these guys will be back again soon. The Statesman Journal was there, so in the next day there will be an email sent and info. up on the blog. Thank you to Whiteaker Middle School's Music Booster group for helping our boosters to pay for the afternoon's event.
3) Save the date - Saturday, April 26, 7 p.m. The Salem Chamber Orchestra is performing here at West High in the auditorium. Ms. Silberman has 20 free tickets, and may be able to get more (on a case by case basis). We received the tickets as part of the residency grant that the Salem Chamber Orchestra received. Over the next four weeks principal players from the SCO will be presenting master classes and coming to coach music groups at all the West Salem schools. More info. on that over the next few weeks.
4) Remember that Ms. Silberman often posts information, fun musical links, and Titan Orchestra-related tidbits on the blog. Check frequently: www.titanorchestras.blogspot.com
Hope to see you Saturday!

Orchestra News
1) Videos on a new blog!! Ms. Silberman is putting all the ensemble performances up on a new Website: www.titanorchestrasvideo.blogspot.com. ("Orchestra News" issues, interesting additional information, pictures, links and updates from Ms. Silberman still at www.titanorchestras.blogspot.com).
All students in the West orchestra program performed in an ensemble for the semester 1 final. Videos of those performances will all be up on the new blog site by the end of the weekend (currently, there are 6 groups up, more being loaded up every day). Please ask the student what the name of their piece is - Ms. Silberman will not post the names of the students on the blog for privacy sake.
Chamber music is, in Ms. Silberman's opinion, the very best reason for playing a stringed instrument. Solo performance and orchestral participation are fantastic too, but playing with one, two, three or more other people with one person per part can be so wonderful and rewarding. Students in the orchestra program will have the opportunity to play in ensembles each January, and more often in some circumstances. Hope that you enjoy watching the performances.
2) Great review option and 'support your fellow musicians' opportunity -the Salem Youth Symphony is performing this Saturday at 7pm at Corban. Here's the info off the Web site (www.salemyouthsymphony.org).
Musical Enchantment "An Evening at the Movies" Saturday, February 2, 2008 7:00 p.m. Corban College-Psalm Center. Featuring Salem Youth Orchestra and soloists from Amadeus and Philharmonia Orchestras. Special Guest Trio Oregon, Dan Rouslin, violin, Hekun Wu, cello and Elise Yun, piano

3) Scholarship opportunity
The Salem Pops Orchestra has announced their 2008 scholarship program. They say that these scholarships "have been created by musicians FOR musicians, to spread the love of music and the concept of life-long learning." Scholarship are for Seniors who plan to study music and for Sophomores/Juniors who will attend a music camp this summer. Financial need is not required or considered. Applicants must complete an application, write a 300 word personal statement, and get the recommendation from both a teacher and another adult familiar with the student's music involvement.
The Educational Scholarship - for Seniors: The scholarship is $1000 to students who wish to continue further musical study, although not necessarily as a music major, at an accredited college or university.
The Music Camp Scholarship - for Juniors and Sophomores: The scholarship is $500 (one-half the cost of camp up to maximum of $500) towards tuition at any music camp acceptable to the Pops Scholarship Committee.
For more information and an application, please contact Ms. Silberman (silberman_daryl@salkeiz.k12.or.us) or for more information: www.salempopsorchestra.org.
