Additional Notes for Parents/Students-

 

We just finished our Fall Recital series, which saw almost every student in the orchestra program perform a short selection in one of two programs this week. Thank you to everyone who attended to support the students, and keep an eye out for 2-3 recital events that we will host in the Spring semester! With the completion of the recital, students will be spending Tuesday discussing the performances and areas of strength and weakness in their preparation. Then all APA Orchestra students have Thursday, October 31st off of regular Orchestra classes. There will be a short 30 minute wrap-up meeting for the Pit Orchestra students at 3:00, but it will conclude no later than 3:30 p.m..

As we turn to November, our sights go to our next upcoming events: Sounds of the Season, our collaboration with Dramatic Production in Tartuffe (only a few students involved), and the CSBC Band Championships event.

Students will begin rehearsing their holiday music in November when we return, and there will be an addition of the combined Advanced Orchestra for the holiday and festival seasons ahead.
