Hello, Senior Symphony!
I think we should bake pies, collect apples and pumpkins, and have autumnal drinksโฆanyone else have leaves falling in their yards like me? Perhaps our leaders can start to put their minds to something fun for the orchestra this fall.
I am so happy with how weโve started things off!! ย Weโll continue work with professional coaches for a couple hours on Monday, so please be sure to be on time. I can tell a few of you need to catch up a little— please put in the time now, so it stays comfortable and not overwhelming for you!
Thereโs lotโs left to do, of course.ย Please see the schedule for Monday and the cycle belowโฆand remember to plan to be out of school with the orchestra on Tuesday, November 19.ย Itโs very important we are all together for our community concerts.
Please read to the bottom!
Yours,
Carter
