CMS Orchestra Calendar
Strolling Strings:
Strolling Strings practice has begun again. We are going to meet EVERY Wednesday. Practice ends at 4:00.
Regular Practice:
EVERY Monday I will give extra help, work with them on solo and ensemble, or give them a space to work on their own. Practice ends at 4:00.
All-West Audition Preparation:
Will start back up again in the fall.
Practice Record Due Dates:
Due to an over whelming amount of students not turning their practice records in regularly. Practice records will be due every FRIDAY for the rest of the year. 1 hour of practice is required for each week. Practice records will be 30% of their grade. Students will still need parent signatures for full credit. This is merely to ensure honesty. I will make a call home when students are missing 3 or more practice records.
