Five days to go as we prepare to take our show "Victory Lap" across the finish line!!! It's a hectic schedule next week, so make sure that everyone is working ahead to keep up with assignments, getting enough sleep and eating healthy to help ward off illness, and making sure everyone is as prepared on their music as possible.
Monday - rehearsal 3:30-6:00 pm (rehearsing with our percussionist and vocalist)
Tuesday - dress rehearsal 6:00-9:00 (NO uniforms for this rehearsal)
Thursday - call time 5:00 pm (shows at 6:00 and 7:30)
***Required events for Chamber, Intermezzo, and Sinfonia Orchestras***
We are still in need of power strips and extension cords to borrow (please label with your name) and would love to borrow any Halloween inflatables or decorations you might have! There are still more spots left for volunteers, but we are still pretty short of people to help decorate the night of the dress rehearsal. Even though all the spots for decoration tear down are full, anyone who would like to lend a hand after the second show would be welcomed with open arms - the band moves into the auditorium 2nd hour on Friday morning. Don't forget our sing along to the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" Thursday night - we' love to have a strong group of orchestra parents singing their hearts out to help lead the audience. We'll be singing the first two verses and choruses only.
We are SO excited and grateful to have our trick or treat list filled!!! But we're less than half the way to our candy donation goal. Please consider helping us out and sending in some bags of candy with your student.
Team unity for ALL orchestras to help us through this big week!!!
