Dear Strings Parents

There a few exciting events coming up and we are happy to announce that all students who are part of the Strings Ensemble will be performing at Assembly during Term 4. 

This will be a great opportunity for students to perform with their ensemble groups and to showcase what they have been working on during weekly rehearsals and tutorials.

We will be live streaming performances via Zoom so parents have the opportunity to see their child(ren) perform at Assembly (details will be sent out via email to Strings parents via coordinators).

The audition packs have been sent out via email, please let your coordinator know if you haven’t received this as yet. Please have the students practice the audition pieces and keep the sight reading and practice up.

2020 (Term 4) Calendar Dates:

 Call out for Parent Volunteers

We are in need of parent volunteers

• Ideally two parent volunteer to assist the current Strings Instrument Coordinator and take over this role.
• two parent volunteers to assist current Strings Treasurer and take over this role.

 Please see brief description below for the roles below.

Instrument Hire Coordinator The hire coordinator is responsible for maintaining the registry of all hire instruments. They facilitate the hiring of instruments throughout the year, including when students need to upgrade to the next size, and liaise with parents regarding maintenance and repairs. The hire coordinator issues hire invoices and communicates with the Convener and Treasurer regarding outstanding fees and repair costs. As the Instrument Library is still being established, the Hire Coordinator liaises with the Convener as to the on-going instrument needs of the library.

Treasurer The Treasurer issues invoices for ensemble fees at the beginning of the year and throughout the year as students join. They ensure all fees are paid and liaise with the Deputy Principal over outstanding fees. The Treasurer is responsible for an Income/Expenses report.

Please send me an email at strings.artarmonpandc@gmail.com if you are interested and are able to help out. This amazing program runs with parent volunteers, so many thanks for the parents that have helped out so far.
