Hello Durham Families! Here are our updates for the week of October 22nd:
CONCERT: Everyone's first concert of the year will be held at Allatoona High School this Thursday, October 25 at 7:30pm, all students must arrive by 7pm. This is a fun TV and Movie Music concert where students can wear costumes! :) We ask that all costumes be in dress code and for no gory, inappropriate, or offensive costumes. If your child has a folding music stand, please make sure they bring it and that it is labeled with their name! Your child will receive a flyer in class today containing all this information as well. The concert is free of charge. :)
Bass and Cello Transportation: Once I confirm who is using what instrument and who has their own instrument at home, I will send out the instructions for transporting cellos and basses to the Allatoona concert. Cello and bass parents, please be on the lookout for that email later today.
Honor Orchestra forms and $25 audition fee is due October 30th (though turning in by Friday is ideal!). Auditions are December 1 at Sprayberry HS. I will set up audition help session times later this week.
The Fundraiser Celebration for students who sold at least 5 items or raised $100 in donations is after school on Friday, November 2nd. Please make sure if your child is attending, that they have a ride by 5:45pm.
6th Grade: Our 6th grade students have been busy rehearsing Jaws and Middle School Story for their concert next week, and they are doing a great job! Please make sure your child is loosening their bow and taking off their shoulder rest (violin/viola) when they are done practicing.
7th Grade: The 7th Grade is working hard on Batman and Somewhere Out There. They are doing well, and please continue to encourage them to practice at home. They have a playing test due Wednesday (tomorrow) in class.
8th Grade: 8th grade is working hard on Mission Impossible for our concert this week. Please continue to encourage your child to practice. :)
If you have any questions, please let us know!
