6th Grade Orchestra
You guys need to focus pages 22 and 23 in your book (hint! hint! hint)......we have to be done wth Can-Can by Christmas and we are so behind!!!!!
You guys also need to focus on Up on the Housetop...it is my goal for us to be finished with this piece by the end of next week. Make sure you pluck then air bow and finally ARCO POLO!!!!!
Lastly keep working on High Strung.....plucking with the bow in your hand!

7th Grade Orchestra
You guys ROCK!!!! I am so proud of your behavior and your progress this week. You guys have done an excellent job in sectionals....SOOOO Good that I think I am going to add another piece; a really cool piece! This weekend you need to practice Decemer Fanfare from measure 31- 62. Make sure you focus on intonation and rhythm so that in class we can fix dynamics, balance, and articulations. Also clap the rest of Caribbean Carol so that you are at least familiar with the rhythm. (there is a quiz coming soon)

8th Grade Orchestra
You guys are doing a good job but you need to spend time working on things like bow placement (upper...middle...lower parts), length of bow, dynamics, and bow direction. You guys are to good not to work on these very important aspects of your music.
