Hermanson's Orchestral Wonders

Hello everybody! We’re on the downhill stretch of the year – but that doesn’t mean it’s time to zone out just yet. All grades have a playing test this Monday:

6th: Cripple Creek break, measures 9-18

7th: Over the Rainbow, surprize section!
Those wanting to play the break on OJC will audition today, too!

8th: BlueFire Fiddler

Our concerts are going to be great this May – lots of fun and energy. I hope you’re ready! More information will be sent home this coming week. Dress for 7th: jeans and dark blue shirt. Dress for 6th: jeans and plain white shirt.

I hope everyone had a restful Spring Break, even if it did snow in parts of town!

Now that we’re back into the swing of things, there are several things to take note of:

6th and 7th Grade Spring Concert: May 8th, 7pm – McClure Auditorium

8th Grade Spring Concert: May 14th, Kennesaw Mtn. High School

In preparation for these concerts, a newly devised calendar of rehearsal dates has been created. This calendar is located below.

For all music lovers, the Cobb Symphony has it’s last MasterWorks concert of the season THIS weekend, with shows at 8pm Saturday (April 14th) and 3pm Sunday (April 15th). We have a wonderful soloist playing the Piano Concerto by Grieg, as well as the infamous Schostakovich Symphony No. 5 and the Overture to the Barber of Seville by Rossini.

Please come out and hear some wonderful music and support the cultural arts in your community! You can hear me in the cello section.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Rest up for all the testing next week, and remember to eat breakfast every day!
