The Griffin MS Orchestra has applied for a Donor's Choose Grant to help with purchasing new bows and cases for the orchestra. Using an old bow with no hair is like playing basketball with a deflated ball. Many of our students share instruments and bows so we are replacing bows every year. New cases are needed too so that the instruments are protected. If you wish to help fund our grant or know someone who may help us go to the following website www.donorschoose.org/griffinorchestra
Orchestra T-Shirts and Hoody's will arrive next week between Monday and Friday before we dismiss for the winter break. All 6th grade students will receive their t-shirts and/or hoody's next week. Students may continue to pay for shirts up until Fri. Dec. 19th. Contact me if you have questions at [email protected].
The Middle School Honor Orchestra auditions will be held on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3 at Mabry Middle School. The auditions will be held after-school between 5:30pm-9:00pm. The auditions will consist of musical excerpts and sight-reading. The actual event will be Friday evening, March 20 and Saturday, March 21 at McEachern High School. Students who make the audition have the opportunity to work with two nationally acclaimed conductors. You may download and print a copy of the audition information letter and parent permission form here. All forms must be turned in by Wed. Dec. 17th. Auditions times will be mailed out in January. Students will pay their $16 registration fee to GRIFFIN MIDDLE SCHOOL and place it in school money envelope and put the envelope in the black money box. This is an excellent opportunity for our students to further improve their skills as musicians. If you have any questions please contact me via e-mail through this weebly page or e-mail Selinda.
