Hermanson's Orchestral Wonders

Congratulations to everyone on a successful concert! The bar has been set, and I expect this year to prove a fruitful one. Thanks to all the supporters we had in the crowd – it was amazing to see all the seats filled!

Now to look forward:

McClure Orchestra has been asked back to the Solicitor General’s Open House on Monday, 12/17. Participating students need to report to the Orchestra room this Thursday and Friday (12/13 and 12/14) at 8am for rehearsal. There is NO REHEARSAL tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Monday, 12/17 participating students need to arrive at McClure dressed in black pants and a red or green top at 7:15am. We will leave promptly at 7:30 and will be returning to McClure by 10:45am.

For the break I will be sending home some music for everyone to play for fun. Playing and keeping your skills up over these next few weeks will go a long way to determining where we can start from in January!

Have a wonderful week everybody!

Welcome to the week of the concert!
