Symphony & Chamber Orchestra Parents: Please Read

noreply@blogger.com (Green Valley High School Orchestra) — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 20:53:00 +0000

Dear Green Valley Symphony and Chamber Orchestra Parents,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year! The Chamber and Symphony Orchestras have been hard at work preparing for our first concert. Listed below is information about this performance as well as other important items.

Orchestra Parent Booster Meeting

Our first parent booster meeting will be Monday, September 17 in the Orchestra Room. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. and should be done no later than 7:00 p.m. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. We will be discussing upcoming events, fund raising opportunities, ways to get involved to help the orchestra, and spring travel plans for all groups.

Pasta Supper

Our annual Performing Arts Department Pasta Supper will take place on Monday, September 24. The dinner will start at 6:00 p.m. and both the Symphony and Chamber Orchestras will be performing beginning at 5:30. Call time for both orchestras will be 4:00. The orchestra concerts will be followed by a performance by the GVHS Marching Band and the GVHS Choirs Fall Concert. The dinner of salad, rolls, pasta marinara, chicken parmigiana, and cake is being catered by Ventano’s Italian Restaurant. Tickets for the Pasta Supper may be purchased for $10.00 pre-sale and $12.00 at the door. In addition, students will receive $3.00 in their fund raising account for every pre-sale ticket sold. All students will need to be in uniform for this performance and all other formal concerts during the year. A reminder of concert uniform is below:

Girls Boys

Floor length GVHS black dress Black long sleeve dress shirt

Black stockings or tights Black dress or tux pants

Black dress shoes Black long tie

Black dress shoes and socks

Orchestra Website

Fundraising

Our first fund raiser of the year is selling coupon books from Save Around. The books are $25.00 and feature discounts from many local and national restaurants and businesses. For every book sold the student earn $10.00 in their account. Students will also have an opportunity to seek sponsors for the orchestra as a fund raiser. I will be providing a sponsor contract to students in the next few weeks. Students can seek donations from individuals or businesses and will earn 100 % of the donation amount in their fund raising account. The business or individual who donates will have their name or business listed in all of our concert programs this year and will be acknowledged on our orchestra website.

Home Practice/Equipment

The importance of consistent home practice cannot be stressed enough. Please encourage your student to set a regular practice time and to share with you what they are working on in their orchestra class. Violin and viola players should be taking their instruments home on a REGULAR basis and ALL cello and bass players should have playable instruments to practice on at home. If this is an issue, please contact me as soon as possible. If your child currently does not have their own instrument, please consider renting one from one of our local music stores. I can certainly make recommendations as to good places to rent for reasonable prices. The best situation for a student is to own or rent their own but if this is not possible, please contact me as soon as possible and I will find a school instrument to loan to your student. In addition to a working instrument at home, all violin and viola players need to have a shoulder rest to use in class daily. It would also be fantastic if every cello and bass player owned their own rock stop to use for concerts. I have shoulder rests available for purchase at school. Violin rests are $15.00 and Viola rests are $20.00. If your child will be using a school instrument at home you will also need to fill out a loan of musical equipment form.

Thank you for your continued support of the GVHS Orchestra program. I am extremely grateful to be teaching such outstanding students and I look forward to many wonderful performances with them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have. My email is sab564@interact.ccsd.net and my school phone number is 799-0950 ext. 4063.

Sincerely,

Shelly Burger

Dear Intermediate and Advanced Orchestra Parents,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year! I know the beginning of the year is often chaotic and filled with lots of paperwork needing your attention so I thought that it might be helpful if I sent a note regarding important items for our orchestra program.

Handbook forms

Your child should have brought an orchestra handbook home the 1^st week of school. This handbook contains expectations and information for our orchestra program. At the back of the handbook are several permission slips that require your signature. If these forms have not been returned yet, please have your child get them in as soon as possible.

Class Fee

There is a $35.00 class fee for orchestra and covers an orchestra t-shirt, replacement of broken strings, and periodic specialized sectional (small group) coaching. Class fees were due on Friday, September 6. If you need to make payment arrangements please send a note with your child. You can also contact me by email or phone.

Orchestra Parent Booster Meeting

You are cordially invited to our annual Performing Arts Department Pasta Supper. The dinner and concert will take place on Monday, September 24.

Uniforms

We will be using the same uniform as last year. Girls that are new to our program will need to purchase the Green Valley Orchestra Dress. We will be fitting girls for dresses during class at the end of September and then ordering the dresses to be here in time for our Winter Concert. The cost of the dress is $72.00 and I would like to have the dresses paid for by October 11. Boys that are new to our program will need to purchase a black long sleeved dress or tux shirt, black dress pants, and a black long tie. All students will also need black dress shoes and black dress socks or stockings.

Sincerely,

Shelly Burger

Dear GVHS Band and Orchestra Parents:

Every year we participate in an international jewelry show, being held this year at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Band / Orchestra students and family members have worked this show for many years and we hope to continue this wonderful relationship. The show is a very large production, and because of this, the security company is looking for many people to help out. The work is not difficult--we work in the vaults checking in pieces at night and checking out pieces in the morning hours. The shifts are as follows:

June 3Friday morning7-9:30 AM

Friday evening5-7:30 PM

June 4Saturday morning7-9:30AM

Saturday evening5-7:30 PM

June 5Sunday morning7-9:30 AM

Sunday evening5-7:30 PM

June 6Monday morning7-9:30 AM

Monday evening5-7:30 PM

As you can see by these dates, the students are finished with school. Every shift pays $10/hour per person ($25). If you bring family members along, you can make quite a bit of money. If you do the math, this is a great opportunity to raise a lot of money. Remember, these funds go into the STUDENT ACCOUNT. Because this is a very important commitment and because we’ve had such a huge response these last few years, we have a very organized method of signing up. You will be able to request four slots (per student) beginning on Tuesday, May 17, at 11 AM. You must do this through

email—dkoutsu@interact.ccsd.net.

Every day after that Tuesday, you will be able to sign up for four more slots (per student), until they’re all filled up. You will always receive a return email from me confirming the times and numbers of workers. If you are not able to use the internet, please give me a call at (702)799-0950 ext. 4040, so that we can work out some other way.

Thanks for your patience with us as we organize this very profitable event.

The orchestras will begin selling World’s Finest Chocolate bars next Tuesday, February 16. Each bar sells for $1.00 and for every 10 bars sold the student earns $4.00 in their fund raising account. Students may begin selling by checking out a bag 20 assorted chocolate bars. Once a positive pattern of selling the chocolate bars and returning the money in a timely manner is established the student may check more than 20 bars at one time. If you want your child to check out more than 20 bars to start please send a note with them with the amount of chocolate that you would like. Please remember that once a case is opened it cannot be returned so all bars checked out need to be sold and paid for.

Thank you for your continued support of the GVHS Orchestra program. I am extremely grateful to be teaching such outstanding students and I look forward to outstanding performance as well as a fun spring trip with them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have. My email is sab564@interact.ccsd.net and my school phone number is 799-0950 ext. 4063.

Sincerely,

Shelly Burger
