Hi everyone! I am not sure how many people are checking the orchestra blog, but I wanted to post updates for our program. For now, this will be a monthly update that I will try to post the first Sunday evening of each month. Eventually, I would like this to be weekly, but I need to get some stats to see how many are seeing the messages before I increase the frequency.
If everything remains steady, many of you will return to South Cobb High School and the Orchestra Room in one month. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone, even though there will still be some distance for safety. Please check over the handbook again so you have everything you need for class. There will be some members that remain remote, but you will need all of the materials so you can keep up in class. I am awaiting further details about how this will work before I give out more information. The same is true with LGPE and All-State. For now, we are preparing to participate in both LGPE and All-State. I am looking into some ways that each student can receive a time slot for mini lessons. Or, possibly some sectional work. For the next few weeks you all will spend a great deal of class time working on music in SmartMusic. I am checking that the pieces we will play for LGPE match the piece for the material on the state list (not just the title but the publisher, arranger, etc.) Once things return to normal, this Update will provide important information such as dress rehearsal times, performance times, fundraisers, etc. For now, I just want people to get used to where the information can be found. This is also a way for me to communicate with parents. Typically for parents I would send out an email, but there have been many emails that were undeliverable through Synergy. I hope to have a parent meeting one day soon when it is safe so we can plan out the beginning stages of ways for parents to support the orchestra at SCHS. Until then, feel free to email me when you have questions. Looking forward to seeing everyone in class!
