I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing break! After the incredible performance with the 7th and 8th graders in Spokane, I spent a week relaxing and rejuvenating on the couch!
March lessons:
No lessons after 4pm on 3/4 (all-district concert)
Upcoming events:
This Friday (2/28) is Solo & Ensemble at IMS! Your student should know their times for solos and ensembles. Please let me know if you have any questions about the event.
Next Tuesday (3/4) is the all-district concert at the MIHS Gym! We are using the big gym so that for the first time ever, we can have all grades (5-12) represented at one concert! You will really be able to see the progression that these students make during their time in orchestra in MISD. It will be a fun night!
As some of you know, I have joined the Rainbow City Orchestra and I am assistant conductor for this concert cycle! Our concert is 3/9 at Benaroya Hall and I will be conducting a piece as well as playing in the orchestra. It will be a fun program of tv and movie music. I hope you will come if you can! We are also offering a free encore presentation at the Seattle Public Library on 3/30. Tickets are available here
Thank you for your continued support of your student's musical journey!
