String Trip Wait List Deadline
While the Spring Trip to Orlando has been deemed “full”, the waitlist is open. If we get enough students interested, we can fill another bus for everyone to go. If we reach that point, we will open the web portal to accept deposits. The deadline to sign up for the wait list is THIS FRIDAY, Nov 17! Don’t miss out on this great experience!!

Winter Concert
We are just a few short weeks away from our Winter Concert. Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 5 at 7:00 PM in the Concert Hall. We have a variety of standard repertoire and holiday favorites everyone will enjoy!
Home Practice
It is imperative that students are practicing regularly at home in order to be prepared for rehearsals. Remember — your daily homework is to be prepared with NRB – Notes, Rhythms, and Bowings. Happy “NRBing!”
Sectionals
We will have sectional coaches coming in this week to help us with our Winter Concert music. Please make sure you are prepared and ready to maximize your time with our professionals. Students will have the opportunity to have student-led sectionals when they are not in sectionals with a coach. Bring your ideas, your concentration, and your pencils!

Thursday, November 16
