This is a friendly reminder that the Barnes and Noble performances will be THIS Thursday (December 5th) at the Barnes and Noble Bookstore in 7 Corners.

There is a different format this year. In the past we have had whole groups perform, but with the limited space available this year (and a growing orchestra program) small ensembles will better serve the venue.

Students have volunteered to perform with their friends in small ensembles, duets, or as solos. Right now there are about 5-6 performances that will take place by orchestra students between 6pm-7pm. Students are asked to wear all black with holiday “flair”. Students will need to bring music stands and whatever else they might need for their performance (music, rosin, rock stops, etc.) Any student that performs will receive Orchestra Performance credit, plus orchestra volunteer hours they could use on their trip scholarship/private lesson scholarship applications.

Mr. Drew Lisowski – the orchestra director from Falls Church High School – will be the orchestra liason that night for the kids. I will be in Prague starting on Wednesday evening, and he has graciously agreed to come help the kids with their tuning, etc.

If you have any questions about Barnes and Noble night, please don’t hesitate to email me with questions. Thanks so much!
