Itโs 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 itโs a nice day. The following week, weโll 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. Iโve asked if heโd 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 havenโt figured it out yet, please let me know you need some help. Thereโs still just a little time left. If you are going and want to talk about program ideas start thinking about it! Iโll swing back around with a couple suggested times to have that conversation.
