Polo Shirts

I am taking orders for polo shirts (part of the concert uniform). The shirts are $16 and need to be paid for by the Winter concert (12/8). I am accepting money now, if you would like to go ahead and pay for it.* Students who were in Orchestra last year do not NEED a new shirt if they still have theirs from last year (and it still fits!). I have included a picture of what the embroidery will look like.

Method books

I am sending a yellow half-sheet of paper home with students today regarding method books. They are here, and we will start using them soon (probably next week or so). Books do not have to be purchased from the school, but I was able to get them tax free, so they are probably cheaper this way than if you buy them retail.

Students in Intermediate Orchestra (2nd year players) will need Essential Elements 2000 book 2 ($8). If students have money in their orchestra account, they may use this money to purchase their book. If not, money is now being accepted.

Students in Beginner Orchestra will need Essential Elements 2000 book 1 ($9). If you are renting your instrument through Bernhardt, there is no need to purchase the book separately, as it is included in your rental. If you are obtaining an instrument from somewhere else, you will need to get a book.

Rental Meeting

Parents, just a reminder that Thursday (9/3) is our Rental Meeting with Bernhardt House of Violins. They will be here in the Orchestra room at 5 pm to get you all lined up with an instrument and accessories. I look forward to seeing you there!
