The end is near...

...the end of the school year, that is! I have enjoyed a wonderful year with some wonderful students - thank you to all members of the Raider Orchestra family (including parents, of course!). We have had several successful performances this year, and all performers have grown tremendously. I'll be able to see some of "my kids" for a few extra weeks during ST-Arts at Winthrop. :)

As this year draws to a close, I would like to offer a few reminders:

-If any money is owed (for books, strings, instrument rental, etc.), please be sure to pay it as soon as possible to avoid grades being withheld. I have sent home notices to anyone who owes money.
-Any school-owned instruments need to be returned to RRMS by Wednesday (6/1).
-Students are encouraged to keep playing over the summer. If you need music, I can give you recommendations for books and/or provide copies of sheet music. There are lots of websites to buy or download sheet music, and you can also check out the sheet music section at any local music store for options; they will often have books of music for different instruments in lots of different styles.

I hope everyone has a summer full of fun, family time, late mornings, and great times! I look forward to seeing you again in August (or wish you luck in high school next year, 8th graders)!
