Solo and Ensemble Festival, A Special Concert, Early Orchestra rehearsals

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

Thank you for your wonderful support at the Hoops and Hoopla event! We were able to raise over $2500. 
We were also able to eliminate one bus for our return trip to Michigan which cut our costs by $800 and as a result we only need to raise $693 to meet our goal. Let me know if you are someone you know is willing to help us take us to the top of our chart.

1. I am so excited for the over 50 solo and ensemble students taking part in the MSBOA Festival at Zeeland High School this Saturday. They have grown so much in the last few months as musicians.

2. The Holland American Legion Band is giving a 100th Anniversary Gala Concert on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at the Jack H. Miller Center for the Musical Arts. The band performs with a trumpet soloist (Scott Thornburg), who has performed around the world, a World Premier of a new composition, the music of Sousa and Holst and much more. 


This is a great pre-Winterfest Dance activity or a great event for parents of students who are dancing. :)

3. Since the orchestra is performing at festival as a full orchestra we will need to rehearse with our full orchestra on Thursday, February 13 at 7:00 a.m. and on Friday, February 21 at 7:00 a.m. These rehearsals will include the normal symphonic orchestra woodwind/brass/perc, but also all string musicians.
Because of this rehearsal there will be no normal jazz orchestra rehearsal on Thursday, February 13.

Thank you!
Mr. VB
