Happy Halloween, Senior Symphony!  I hope you are having a fun day! Please make sure you are in attendance at the remainder of our rehearsals and concerts this fall. You are so important and I see that a few of you are still a bit timid and underprepared. We need everyone at the concerts, too!

Good Afternoon, Senior Symphony. Thanks to you and your families for helping this season get off to an amazing start.  You sound great, and the energy in the room is perfection–I am so proud of you. Thanks for everything and thanks especially for those concerts! So, what can you do to help or care for

Good Afternoon, Awesome Orchestra! I’ll see you very soon! If you can, try to get here a bit earlier so you can get better parking, and get in the building a little easier, too. It’s the first rehearsal of Sinfonia, Philharmonia  and Wind Ensemble today (and Progressions and Prelude Winds are also rehearsing), so I
