Happy Holidays everyone!!!! I hope that everybody is enjoying their time off. Wish the break was longer, but when we get back we have a lot of work to do. Happy New Year!!! Tune into the Mummer's Parade on January 1st to see the Durning String Band (the one I am in) perform their "Saturday Fright Fever".

What did you think of the performance yesterday? What can we learn from the performers yesterday? Post your comments.

Great job last night!!!! We have a lot to do for the spring concert. Please check out My School Page for links to listen to the new music. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Concert Night Eve

After today, I feel confident that we have the opportunity to put on a nice show tomorrow night. We need to make sure that we are still actively listening around the ensemble to ensure proper balancing and blend. Good luck with everything tomorrow.

Cest Noel

Assignment:
You must listen to the following piece (Cest Noel) and provide appropriate feedback to Mr. Carpenter tomorrow in class. Write down your feelings (5 criticisms and 5 positives) on a full piece of paper. You might also want to tell me how you think we can fix some of the problem areas. It is important to become part of the solution to fixing things before the concert. While you are on the site you could listen to the other pieces and post your feelings.
