Rainy Day

It looks like no one could get to HCC today (Tuesday) for Studio Orchestra! HCC cancelled classes until 11AM or 12 noon, depending on your news source. I got here with no troubles, but I heard there was lots of flooded roads in the area. 


Our last opportunities to record will be this Wednesday and Thursday, so come to class and help us finish up! (Monday night class, we will get a little time in to finish our recording. We did get enough people last night to record our original song, and it sounds pretty good.)

Studio Orchestra This Week

This week we will finish up recording in all classes. Please come and make sure to fill out the credit sheet for any song you performed on, so your name will be on the CD!! If you have not recorded yet, please come so we can get your part recorded.


Also, use this week to finish up your journals and Desert Island papers. Remember, you should have 8-10 journal entries! Check the notebook and make sure that all your journals are together in one place.

If you did not bring in one song for us to listen to in class, you may do that NEXT week. Be certain that you fill out the Listening Assignment sheet after we hear your song, and put it in the notebook with your journals.
