Kealing Orchestra Families, Our first concert of the year is coming up on Wednesday October 11th and this year we are starting a new tradition of having our first concert be a performance and dinner experience to promote string player fellowship and community. The dinner will be a fun way for orchestra members, family, and friends to celebrate our young musicians and will also serve as a small fundraiser for the guitar and orchestra programs. Please see the attached form for the details, performance schedule, and the dinner order form. If you plan on attending the dinner (which we hope you do!) you must turn in the bottom part of the form and the money into a director before Friday Oct. 6th so we can get numbers to the caterer. Help us take care of this as soon as you can! Also, for those of you that will need an orchestra polo, we are waiting for the screen printers to finish the order and expect then the end of this week or by next week. We will send out a notice when we get them in, so we can get them to children. We ask where possible, that students bring $20 for a shirt. The last thing is that I will probably need a few parent volunteers to help with set up, clean up, student monitoring, and selling of spirit stickers/shirts. You can sign up to help here http://signup.com/go/fUhuuWi . More specific information about what exact times students should be where is coming out next week, but expect to have them at Kealing by 5pm regardless of what orchestra they are in. We can’t wait to share the results of our hard work soon, and thank you for supporting your young musicians! Jeni Berecek and David Jarrott

Hello Kealing Orchestra Families!
During Back to School Night on Tuesday Mr. Jarrott and Ms. Berecek discussed ways of staying in contact with all that is going on in touch with the Orchestra program. We also had a google form you can fill out if you have not been receiving Charms emails or if you want us to know about the ways you might be able to help the orchestra! Take a second to fill that out here . We are also on Facebook! Kealing Orchestra now has a private Facebook group were we can share information about concerts and events, share the good news in orchestra, and live stream concerts. Request to join the group here. Other items of business we tried to touch on during Back to School Night was the need for everyone to start making sure they are getting together their uniform for our concerts. Please check the handbook for what to get for your child's specific group. The Orchestra Polo shirts will be ordered soon, so if you need one or need a new size, they will be coming soon, stay tuned for updates on that! Symphony families, check the Symphony page on this website for links to the specific uniform pieces to get. We also wanted to mention that information about the end of the year trip should have gone home. Look over the trip letter and discuss with your child about participation in this exciting event! Stay tuned for updates about how you might be able to pay trip fees online (we are still working out the details, more info soon!) We are so excited to kick off a new school year, thank you for sharing your children with us! |
