Next, at the concert we began our next Butter Braid fundraiser. Students receive $5.00 for their Disney account for each item sold. This week the top three sellers received their iTunes gift cards from the RHS Music Boosters as a reward for their hard work. The boosters will extend the same offer after this sale. Orders and money are due Wednesday, Dec. 10th with delivery on the 17th, just in time for the holidays.
We got some big news this week. We got our results back from our Disney auditions and both the orchestra and band passed! They are scheduled for their workshops on Monday, April 13th and their CA Adventure performance on Tuesday, April 14th. Now that I have firm student numbers I can notify chaperons of whether we need them and the costs involved. Mr. and Mrs. McLelland already graciously volunteered to pull our trailer, which we need for instruments and concert attire backstage.
On a related note, the December deposit of $57.00 is due the 5th. Letters for those students placed on the waiting list were sent over Thanksgiving. Checks for the Voter Registration have yet to arrive. Please stay up with deposits so we can get bills paid on time.
Both band classes are in the midst of testing. The Concert band members are playing the solo in the back of their band book. The Symphonic band members are playing all 12 major scales and arpeggios. Memorization is extra credit. As I told them, when I taught at Einstein, my top band had to play them from memory, so they’re getting off light. ;-)
A tradition here at Rosemont, the orchestra and Symphonic band play for the school on Friday, December 19th. The music is holiday-themed. They will play periods 1 -4 in the Large Theater. The 4th period guitar class will play Christmas Eve Sarejevo that period, the orchestra periods 1 – 3. Classes are invited to attend. You are invited, but must sign in at the office first.
Thank you for your support of the Rosemont HS music department.
Mrs. Wilmer
