SCHS Music Notes
September 9, 2019
Welcome to the Second Edition of our Music Notes Newsletter!
In the past I've sent newsletters weekly, but in effort maximize our readership and minimize the amount of time I spend on administrative tasks, I would like to experiment with creating a new issue every TWO weeks instead.
This makes the newsletters a bit dense with information, but you'll only have to read them twice a month. Thank You in advance for taking the time to be informed and involved!
Please, if you did not receive this directly in your email, and instead received a link via LoopMail, complete our subscription form, as this will be the final week I send the link via LoopMail as well.

Calendar Updates & Changes to Note:
- CANCELED: 2019 VAPA Gala--this was on the tentative calendar from last year for October 11th, but there are simply too many big changes in the VAPA department this year for us to do it well. We will pick it up again next year and will likely make it every other year. Instead we will focus all of our collaborative energies into our Farmers Market Themed Festival of the Arts!
- ADDED (tentatively): SCHS MUSIC PICTURE DAY: Although I have not picked the actual date yet, I am looking into scheduling Picture Day in the 2nd Week of October. Please plan on needing your Concert Black Attire (as described in the syllabus) by that date. FYI, if you plan to purchase a suit or tuxedo, I am meeting with our friends at Friar Tux next week to discuss some deals they can work out for you. Be on the lookout for an email about that! ***This does not apply to Instrumental Music students, as they are not a performing ensemble.
- ADDED (tentatively): Barnes & Noble 3rd day of Gift Wrapping Fundraiser (Friday, December 20th). This would be in addition to our two days that Saturday and Sunday.
