Morning Rehearsals

We will be holding our group rehearsals on Thursdays from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.  at Lake Zurich  Middle School South in room 96.   Once again you will be bused back to Sarah Adams and Charles Quentin.  We have asked teachers to inform  us if a student is lacking in classroom work because of orchestra ... so keep up your classroom work!!  Traditionally, fifth grade morning orchestra has treats once a month.  What we do, is ask a couple of students  to volunteer to bring in treats that fit our district's "Wellness Plan".  We enjoy the treats at the end of the rehearsal (8:15) before we leave for our schools.  Every student should have a normal breakfast at home before the orchestra rehearsal!! 



  

Supplies for Prelude Orchestra

  • Instrument:  Students should make sure that their instrument is in good working order.  Check to make sure your bow is working (loosen and tighten it!)   Check your rosin; is it still usable?  Any broken strings?  Do you need an upgrade in size?
  • Shoulder Rest:  Violins and Violas should purchase a quality shoulder rest.  These will greatly improve your comfort when playing your instrument as well as improve your playing posture.  We recommend the purchase of a KUN or WOLF.
  • Essential Elements 2000 Book II (purple stripe)
  • "Christmas Favorites" Song Book
  • Pencil
  • Cleaning Cloth
  • Name tag
