Gan school visit

Just clarify this, Gananoque Secondary School music students are coming to LaSalle for a jam session on Tuesday May 14th and NOT tomorrow.

I mentioned last week that they will visit on a Tuesday but not tomorrow. It’s always been the 14th of May.

I’ll post it again on the blog in another week as a reminder.

Thanks

Chris

Chris, I’d like to send an evite to next week’s BrassWerks’ concert to the members of the LaSalle Band. I got the address list from Susan. Will I be ruffling any feathers if I use the email addresses from the list? Is there a more politic way for me to get the message out? Thanks,

Rick

Awards

Hi folks,

Thought you’d like to know that we found out last night that both Katie’s bassoon student Aviner Hartwick and my clarinet student Clara Troje both won 500 dollar bursaries for their separate performance submissions to the Kingston Symphony Association Awards.

They will be asked to attend a Symphony concert before the end of this season to accept their cash awards on stage.

Very cool.

And we are very proud of them!

Chris and Katie
