Summer of Percussion Ensemble Session #2! CANCELED

***UPDATE***: I didn't get enough students to commit to the session, so I'm afraid I have to cancel this month's session. Thank you to those of you who expressed interest in this session. I will hold another two sessions next summer (2011) so don't fret if you missed this year!****

If you're interested in taking part in my second session of the percussion ensemble session, please let me know by 7/5. I'll order the music and get final numbers out.

Depending on the number of interested students, it looks like we'll do two ensembles, a "drummy" one and a "mallety" one. Anyone interested in performing a solo is welcome to do so, as well! This session will be more geared toward grades 7/8/9. Older students are welcome to come; if enough are interested we'll do a higher-level ensemble as well!

Dates: Monday 7/12 - Thursday 7/15
Times: 1pm - 5pm
Place: Keller HS
Cost: $60 per student, and if you are currently in lessons with me, you may deduct that week's lesson cost for a total of $44 or $30, depending on if you're doing 30-minute or 60-minute lessons with me.
Repertoire: "Small Box" by Josh Gottry and something "drummy" but can't decide just yet.
Performance: Thursday 7/15, 4:30pm at KHS

I need at least 6 students interested to make this work, so tell your friends!

Percussion Ensemble Session is finalized!

Monday, 6/21 through Thursday 6/24, 1pm to 5pm at KHS. I have attending:

Britton S.
Jaren L.
Devin G.
Jon W.
You can still attend if you want! I can only add up to three more people, though.

Session fee is $60.

You can come early to practice or set up, since I'll still be doing lessons in the mornings. Our performance will be at 4:30 Thursday 6/24. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Follow my Twitter feed for frequent updates!

To make things easier on families, I've set up a Twitter feed! Follow me on twitter.com, @Alcocer_Perc for updates on if I'm running behind or ahead, if there's a neat performance on TV, or even if a cool band parent has surprised us with pizza for lunch! During the ensemble session I'm hosting later this month I'll use this to provide constant updates on rehearsal and lesson schedules, along with any other pertinent information you may need to know. Hopefully this will provide a great source of information for our lesson families.

Lesson slots are filling up fast!
