Input, please

Hi,

I am doing some serious brainstorming about how best to run a music program next year. I would really like input from interested parties, especially students.

1. What kinds of projects would you find interesting to work on?
2.How much time should be devoted to individual practicing?
3.What instruments interest you the most?
4.Any other feedback or suggestions?

You can post comments here or email me.
Thanks!

Also: Don't forget this Sunday night (27th?) Sally Dibblee, Bel Canto singers and more at the Woodstock United Baptist church. Lots of great vocal music and also some original pieces by Sam Arnold. See you there!

Going once . . .

FYI: Advance ticket sales for cast and their associates are now on sale. They are 15$ each or 4 for 50$, I believe. You can get them by calling Centennial Elementary School or the WHS library. Use your friendly neighbourhood yellow pages to find the numbers.

Also, tomorrow we are running vocal rehearsals. Everyone is to meet at the Y's men's club (across from WHS/the Civic Centre) at 7. We will split into male/female sections for the first half and then do a few vocal runs. This is deadly important, as there are still a few vocal holes in the show. Boo.

It looks like the band will get together Thursday evening at 7:30 or 8pm, to clean up some of the trickier sections. Be sure and express your appreciation to the band, as they are volunteers who deserve our thanks, and they are gonna rock come May 31!

Have a good one,
A.

exotic events with a spirit of adventure

Hi all,

I trust everyone is ready for the big day tomorrow.

Two more lovely concerts you need to attend:

Sunday 10 June : vocal recital by Mary Lee (Wilson) McKenna, who grew up in Woodstock.

Sunday 24 June: Fiddlehead Strings

These are both being held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Saint Mark's Anglican Church, Jackson Falls. I will let you know when I get more details, but mark your calendars now.

There is a TON of great music coming up in the next month, so be sure and get out to see it!

Also, in Fredericton: Sat. May 12th - Beethoven's 9th symphony at Wilmot United Church
Sat. May 26th - Sam Arnold (Jigsaw Winds), Fiddlehead Strings, vocal music

Finally: Sat. May 26th, Carleton North High School 25th anniversary concert. Help Peter McLaughlin celebrate 25 years of music at CNSHS. Includes a reunion band!
