There is quite a bit happening
in the Lassiter Orchestra next week!
Tuesday August 24th are
seating auditions. Sign in any time between 3:30 and
5:30. You will play your scale and arpeggio and 2
excerpts for your adjudicator.
Please read "Practice
Habits". I believe this is a great tool to help
you with auditions, and with any presentation you
may have in the future.
Thursday is Open House. Open
House begins at 6:30. Chamber will be performing for
this event. They need to arrive at 5:45. Dress is
orchestra shirt and jeans.
August 27th and 28th is the
Lassiter Orchestra's 18th Annual
Orchestra Camp!
We have a super staff ready to go to work with our
orchestra students.

Welcome back, Lassiter Orchestra Students! I'm
looking forward to another fantastic year of
music-making with the best students a teacher could
ask for!
Here is the 2010-2011 Orchestra
Calendar and
Syllabus.
The signed portion of the syllabus is due back to me
by August 17th. Please take time to read the
syllabus. There are policies that you need to know
and understand to make your year and mine run
smoothly. Also take time to enter all calendar dates
for your orchestra class into your personal
calendars. Our Lassiter Orchestra Association
meeting for all parents will be held Thursday,
August 19th at 7pm in the Orchestra room. This is
our boards opportunity to fill you in on the events
of the year. We will also collect forms, membership,
and have spirit wear available. Orchestra Camp is
August 27th and 28th. This is a huge event for us
and really prepares our orchestra members for the
year. More information is found on this website and
will also come home in the LHSOA handbook.
Per the policy in the syllabus, "A prior commitment
is a date already committed to another even when the
orchestra rehearsal/ performance is announced (not
something more attractive that comes up a week
before a rehearsal/ performance)". You now have the
rehearsal schedule! So I expect any conflicts to
come across my desk in the next few weeks. This is
not only a policy that makes for a great orchestra
program, but is also a good way to live our lives in
general. Character education right here in orchestra
class!
I am so excited about this years' orchestras. Let's
have a wonderful start to the year and make great
music together.
