PLANNING MEETING THIS THURSDAY 6-7

This Thursday, October 13, is the date for our next parent meeting. This will be a "hands-on" meeting with forms, music preparation, and also some important information.  We will work from 6 - 7.  Please bring your calendar for scheduling future work meetings.  We'll also talk about the Selections Meeting preparations (Selections Meeting is Saturday, November 5 at 2:30 PM.) We will only need Debra and Rachel to help with that, as they are doing the refreshments.

We have a parent who is volunteering to coordinate the hospitality table, and she will be seeking helpers.

I'm going to try to kick off our Cello Fury ticket campaign this week.  Please watch your emails for an announcement!

See you on Thursday.

Director Selections Meeting Changed to Sunday, November 6

This only affects the folks who volunteered to provide refreshments.  Some of the directors have band/football game obligations on Saturday, and Sunday is a much better day for them to attend.

The meeting will still start at 1:00, and I've made arrangements to have the Shryock Ave door (#3) opened at 12:30 so that we can set up.

District Orchestra Planning Meeting CHANGED to Monday, September 12 at 6:00

It has become necessary to change the meeting time for the District Orchestra planning meeting. It will now be held on Monday, September 12 at 6:00 in the JH Orchestra Room.  

Thank you so much for your support and understanding!  See you there!
