RECAP AND UPDATES
Mariachi
- We are busy preparing for the upcoming Hispanic Heritage Festival, where we will be playing a song entitled, "De Colores".
- For that performance Mariachi students have been instructed to wear black dress shoes, black socks, black dress pants, and a white long-sleeve button down shirt with a collar.
Beginners
- This week we learned how to make a bow hold on our bows! It was very exciting, and we will continue to explore this over the next few weeks.
- Beginners will start taking their instruments home after winter break.
- When that time comes, Beginner Cellists will be able to take home instruments on Fridays. Violins and Violas will be able to take their instruments home every day.
- Beginner Bassists are encouraged to practice at school or to rent an instrument for their home this year. You can find information regarding vendors here.
Philharmonic
- We are continuing to work on our Fall concert music, and we started learning a new piece this week entitled, "Cripple Creek". It is a fiddle tune arranged for orchestra.
Symphony
- We are also continuing to work on our Fall concert music.
- AFTER SCHOOL SECTIONALS START TOMORROW. They will occur on a weekly basis from 3:45pm - 4:30pm.
Violins / Violas - Mondays
Cello / Bass - Tuesdays
(A few students are an exception to this, because they had conflicts).
SCHOOL OWNED INSTRUMENT RENTALS
This new form more clearly outlines what information you need to provide, and which boxes you will choose to check. Please return this form along with your rental payment for the school year as soon as possible.
Rental prices are as follows:
Violins/Violas Yearly One-time Fee = $50.00
Cello/Bass Yearly One-time Fee = $25.00
Free & Reduced Lunch = have the option to waive the fee
Mariachi Students = no fee
If you have any questions and concerns regarding this information, please call or email me. I would be happy to explain this in more detail.
MORNING PRACTICE AND BUILDING ENTRY
All students must first go to the cafeteria, students carrying instruments will be released to the orchestra room upon arrival.
If your student is interested in practicing in the morning between 7:45am - 8:05am, they will be provided a morning practice pass ID they can attach to their school ID lanyard. This pass will allow them to leave the cafeteria and come to the orchestra room at 7:45am to practice. I have given this information to the librarians, and they are working on making these passes right now. Thank you for your patience.
PLEASE REVIEW AND SIGN YOUR STUDENT'S SYLLABUS, THEN HAVE THEM TURN IT IN TO ME
BEGINNER SUPPLIES
If you are on this list, please turn in your $30.00 so that your child can receive their music supplies. (If you haven't paid, I have given your child a temporary used set of supplies so they can still learn with the class). If you are on this list BUT have paid, please email me as soon as possible so that I can fix the mistake. hernandezmsorch@gmail.com
