| The 8th Grade Strings meet
1st period. The
8th Grade Strings use the books All for Strings Book 3.
We
will also soon begin testing our major scales by memory and extending
our
knowledge of theory. There will be a few rehearsals on Wednesdays before school and possibly one or two after school, before the performances. Second Semester This group has a performance with Graham, and Mountain View High School in the new theater at MVHS in February. They also have a performance in March at Blach. We are challenged to learn enough music to put on two different performances in such short a time. After this performance, several students will be participating in the Solo and Ensemble event in March. We will go into competition on Friday, May 4th, after school, at Lynbrook High School for the California Music Educators Association Festival. This is like "Star" testing for music, and is a very important event for us. This adjudication includes sight-reading competition. We will perform another adjudication during the Disneyland trip. Our last performance of the year is at Smithwick Theater at Foothill College. Please check with the calendar page for more details on performances. -Mrs.
