The White Station High School Honors Orchestras
www.whitestationorchestra.weebly.com “Clef Notes” #7 – May 25, 2021 Abbreviated updates for WSHS Orchestra students and parents I want to thank everyone who attended our May Awards and Senior Recognition Concert on Monday, May 10. I appreciate the extra efforts of Russell Wolfe (the soloist during the pre-program slides); the string quartet of Zoe Wolfe, Lily Zeng, Abby Cassius, and Anyu Gu; and the seniors who came and recorded Farandole, as they provided “live” music for our program. In the Classroom We continue to learn about alternative and eclectic styles for strings, electric instruments, and contemporary performers, educators, and innovators. At this point, we’ve “tipped our toe” into several different styles, and the students are learning how to explore on their own, too. Assignments include Flipgrid performances, MS Form weekly lessons, theory quizzes, Practice Plan 4.2 (due June 2), and the Quarter Four Project (due June 9). Auditions for next year’s Advanced Orchestra placement are nearly complete. Results should be posted during the first week of June. SCS and WSHS Instruments Any SCS/WSHS instrument that is on loan to a student should be returned to the school by June 8. Seniors with school instruments should return them when they are on campus returning textbooks and/or collecting cap/gown/announcements, etc. All 9-11 graders should make arrangements to deliver the instrument to the orchestra room during regular school hours (7:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.). If you have questions or need clarification, PLEASE ask. Summer Activities As I get summer camp activities, I am posting them in our daily Powerpoints on the “Monday Mailbag” slides. If you are looking for a specific activity or private teacher for the summer, please look there, and feel free to contact me. Our Seniors and Their Destinations Autumn Bobo, Cellist.
