| Winter Break I hope you and your family have a wonderful February break!! I will take some time to relax, reflect, and recharge! I’m so grateful for everything Lassiter! The students, the parents, my colleagues, the administration and our facilities are simply unmatched!! Thank you, parents, for all you do to support our students and the orchestra program! I’m honored and proud to be the director of this incredible program. |

| Audition Materials for 2024-2025 |
| Audition materials for 24/25 for Philharmonia, Sinfonia, and Chamber have been distributed and posted to our website. Every student must prepare an audition regardless of their status for next year. This will be for a grade. The most important thing regarding auditions is that students prepare the audition that they can play well. I would much rather hear an easier audition performed well than one that is too difficult played hastily. Auditions are due to flip on March 29 at 11:59 PM. It is my hope that all students will continue and register for orchestra for next year. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s progress or decision for next year, please do not hesitate to contact me. I’m happy to discuss this with you. I’m looking forward to another amazing year next year and every student in orchestra makes an impact. We want everyone to enjoy orchestra and all the great things it has to offer! Orchestra teaches many important life skills in addition to learning to be a confident independent musician. |
