STRING NEWS

Strings.png

Thank you to those who came along last night to our committee meeting. It was great to exchange some good ideas for the future and to plan out some of the upcoming events. Enjoy the Easter break, enjoy your holidays, and see you next term.

Ensemble Photos Tomorrow Thursday April 11th

All string groups are having their photos taken tomorrow. Make sure your child pays attention to any speaker announcements and is wearing full school summer uniform with black shoes. Those also doing PSSA photos will have to take sports clothes to change into.

 

Mothers’ Day Concert May 9th

Let me know if you can help out on the Thursday morning for our annual Mothers’ Day concert early next term. I’ll need some hands on deck to pick up the yummy finger buns and some on deck to help out at the stall. Others will be needed to corral the music students in an orderly fashion (good luck with that).

 

Training Strings starts first day of Term 2

Remember to bring instruments on the first day back next term. Rehearsal is in the music room Tuesday lunch.

 

Payments due

Invoices have gone out now for ensemble fees and instrument hire. Please email the treasurer (stringstreasurer@gmail.com) if you have not received one or if you have any questions about your invoice.

 

Creative Kids voucher

Remember, if you want to use the Creative Kids voucher, please log on to the music parent portal at https://portal.msmusic.com.au/artarmonmusic and provide the details. As per previous instructions, if you wish to use the Creative Kids voucher you must pay $100 less than your invoice total. We will then credit the $100 against your invoice when we have redeemed the voucher from Service NSW. You must do this before your pay.

 

Please update your child’s class details and your contact details in the parent portal – this is important for a lot of reasons.
