T.H. Rogers Orchestra 2013-2014

Tuesday, January 14, 2014

Dear Orchestra Parents,

Your elementary school orchestra student has the opportunity to compete in the Solo and Ensemble contest at Parker Elementary this spring.

The event takes place on Saturday, March 1st at Parker Elementary, 10626 Atwell at Willowbend, between Chimney Rock and Hillcroft.

Your student can choose to enter with their orchestra instrument, or piano, or both (if both, then fill out two forms and double the entry fee). You will be assigned a time after the entries are made—I don’t know what time you will perform yet, and I am not able to request times.

If you would like to participate in this event, please return this form with $10 (cash or check made out to TH Rogers) to Ms. Lawrence by Friday, January 24th. Two events is $20, double the fee.

For this event, you must perform a piece from the UIL prescribed music list. You can find this information online at www.utexas.edu/uil/pml/. Minuet 1 in the Suzuki book 1 is the first song that you can play in the contest, and then every Suzuki piece after that is acceptable.

I will be playing piano for your student for no accompanist fee—I’ll rehearse each piece with the students during lunch or recess a few times in February.

Best wishes,

Ellen Lawrence
