Reminders and Opportunities

Just a reminder that I will not be teaching Monday, September 2nd because of Labor Day.  I hope you all have something fun planned.  I will also be taking off October 8th-14th just to give you all a heads up.

If you didn't receive the info on Master Classes click here to see when your child is to attend.  Still working on recital dates and will have those to you soon.  Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Now I'm going to toot my own horn for a minute.  I am now the conductor of a youth orchestra!  I'm just loving working with young musicians in an orchestra setting.  I mainly have children from ages 5-13 in my orchestra and would love any of you who are interested to join if you feel so inclined.  Seriously no pressure from me but if it is something you are interested in, check out the website here.


Cheers!

Devil Went Down To Georgia

My sis took this video of the last number of the fiddle recital and thought I should share!  It's on a private setting so you have to click on the link.

Last Minute Details...

The fiddle recital is tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. Since our group rehearsal didn't work out last week I'm going to try to have one tomorrow at 3:00 at my house for Bile Them Cabbage Down.  This number is for ALL of my students.  If you can make it great! If not I COMPLETELY understand.  Just thought I would try to make it happen before tomorrow.  

If your child is in the Mary Had A Little Lamb/Camptown Races number we are trying to rehearse at 2:30 p.m.  Please let me know if you can make that one.  If not, we will just wing it. 

Dress is casual, or cowboy attire.  Please arrive 10 min early to get tuned so we can start on time.  The group number is first so make sure you are there. :)





Seating for the recital will be on the picnic tables found in the pavilion.  You are welcome to bring blankets or camping chairs to sit on the grass if you would rather.

Last order of business is that I need a tally of everyone you are bringing tomorrow so I have a head count for rootbeer floats tomorrow.  Just leave a comment below, email, or text me.  Thanks so much everyone for your patience through all of this.  It should be an evening to remember!

Cancellation

Hello Everyone,

Lots of people in the last few days have told me they won't be able to make it this Friday for the Bile Them Cabbage Down rehearsal so I am cancelling it and hoping to move it for next week. It might even need to be on the day of the recital.  I will speak with my pianist and see what will work for her.  Thanks for your patience through all of this.  Group numbers are always hard to get organized but very fun to listen to!

All the best,

Jess

P.S. the rehearsals for Devil Went Down To Georgia and Brave are still on with a change in location.  We will be doing them at my house.  Thanks!

Scheduling

I hope this post finds you all well.  Just a reminder that this week I will be teaching at a string camp and won't be teaching my regular schedule.  We will however, be trying to do a few rehearsals for our recital next week.  I'm hoping to get ALL of my students together on Friday (08-09-13) at 3:00 p.m. for a run through of Bile Them Cabbage Down.  Please try to make this work but I understand if it won't be a possibility for some of you.  We will be meeting at my mom's house because my house just won't hold all of you wonderful people.

Other Rehearsals this week.
All but the first one on the list will be held at my home.  Hope this all makes sense.

*Music from Brave and Devil Went Down to Georgia  Friday at 3:30 p.m.

*Orange Blossom Special- Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.

*Polly Wolly Doodle and O dem Golden Slippers- Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.

*Mary Had A Little Lamb and Camptown Races- Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.

If you, or your child is in one of these groups and you CANNOT make it, please let me know via email, text, or comment below.  Thanks for your patience as we try to pull this recital together! It should be fun.

One more reminder.  There is a $5 recital fee this month so please add that to your payment.  Thanks again and see you later this week!
