News about the beginning of Orchestra

o I hope you all had a great summer and are eager to start playing your instruments again. I got to play at my son's wedding in California and am practicing for some other "gigs" now with a viola player.

The high school orchestra resumes on Mondays the second week of school, Sept. 14 from 5:30-7:30pm at the Community Presbyterian Church, 417 N. William. We will start with scales, so try to be there a little ahead to tune up. You may come as early as 4:30pm for extra help with parts. We will probably try breaking up into duos and trios for more variety. I do have some small performances in November in mind. We will try some lively modern, festive, dance type music from different countries to brighten up our repetoire.

The middle school orchestra resumes on Wednesdays starting the second week of school also in the choir room of Post Falls Middle School room 46, (easily reached from the back of the school from Idaho St. turning on 18th) It begins as early as 3pm for set up and extra help with parts. The formal rehearsal will begin at 4:00pm and go till 5:30pm.
We will also be doing some lively music.

I will try to post on this blog regularly about concert info and what we are doing in class. If you are going to be absent let me know--you can text me at 660-9185. Then look at the blog to see what we practiced or continue practicing what you think you need work on. I will be making practice cards for you to check off when you practice. I hope a minimum of 2 hours per week.

Tuition can be paid in full at the beginning of the year, or at 6 month or monthly intervals that you work out.

Here's to a great year of fun and playing!
Your conductor, Anne Nesse
