Last Monday was the first orchestra concert for the school year.  It was a very busy night, but a great concert.  All the groups played well.  It was the largest attendance for the first concert we have ever had.  A was a great problem running out of programs.  Let’s hope that attendance remains high all year.   It is much more fun playing for filled seats.  

 

Tuesday night was the Kearney Symphony concert.  To all that either attended or were playing---it was an excellent concert.

 

The All-State orchestra was announced last Saturday and congratulations goes to:

Sebbie Nabb-1st violin, Katy Ayers, Kaitlyn Dahlke, Cherie Oaklund-violas, Briana Pallas-harp, Ben Tye-bass and Brett Potthoff-1st alternate-bass.  The All-State Orchestra concert will be Saturday, Nov 17 at the Lied in Lincoln.

 

We hope that everyone had a chance to recharge and rejuvenate over the long weekend.  Everyone will be working hard for November and December concerts.

 

This week’s calendar includes:  

        Monday night 6:00-7:00 was the 7th grade orchestra rehearsal at Sunrise.  Next rehearsal will be Monday, Oct 29, 6:00-7:00 at Sunrise.  

        The musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opens this Thursday at the KHS auditorium.  We have many orchestra students involved.  It will be a great show, plan on attending one of the performances.
