Some Fun Rehearsals! 12/9, 12/16, & Sun., 1/5

Itโ€™s a sunny Sunday! Hello, Senior Symphony : )

I hope you are enjoying the day today and are able to get in a little rest and fun as you prepare for the week.

Tomorrow, for our time together, I plan to rehearse the strings while Mr. Pearl and Mr. Sipe work with the winds and brass. The Percussion Ensemble starts up tomorrow, too, so itโ€™s a nice day. The following week, weโ€™ll enjoy some time playing holiday music for the String Orchestra kids and also enjoy some social time with our Pizza Party! Many of you I know will be happy that our friend and alum Lucas LaBeau will be back to visit on the 16th. Iโ€™ve asked if heโ€™d play some holiday tunes while we enjoy our time together before the Holiday Break. Such a good guy!

Hey, if you are wanting to go to Europe with us and havenโ€™t figured it out yet, please let me know you need some help. Thereโ€™s still just a little time left. If you are going and want to talk about program ideas start thinking about it! Iโ€™ll swing back around with a couple suggested times to have that conversation.
