Good Afternoon, Senior Symphony!
Thank you so much for all that you and your family are doing for the orchestra! You sound incredible and I can’t wait for our concert tomorrow!
Saturday, November 11, at Carroll University, Shattuck Auditorium

So, we don’t meet on Monday, November 13. The following Monday we’ll start to work on our new program. I am super excited about what we’ll perform in February; a varied set of pieces that are wonderful music and which will be fun to learn together. We’re still preparing parts and we’ll distribute everything at our next Monday rehearsal.
