MYO Mariachi 2011

Welcome to the first of a series of Summer 2011 blogs highlighting some of the wonderful opportunities MYO students have had around our community, around our state and beyond.

MYO Teachers Danielle Yeti and Jose Valencia facilitated our very first Mariachi Workshop and our dear friends at Broadway United Methodist Church were kind enough to host and provide some extra decor!

We had a great time, with 11 participants and a brilliantly bright and hot afternoon - like so many we've had recently. We've provided a few pictures from the performance. I'm working on posting the video as well. Stay tuned! Remember that all of the music was rehearsed in one afternoon and the session was designed to learn more than the music, but to understand more about the history and background of mariachi music.

We capped off the day with a visit from West Coast Tacos - thanks to our new friends there who joined us for the performance.

MYO families - send me your summer story!

Orchestra A Rehearsal Cancelled

MYO Orchestra A,

Please note that there will be NO Orchestra A rehearsal on Thursday, February 3 due to the winter weather. Everyone stay safe and warm- we'll see you next week!

Vote for Ms. Perry!!!

Log onto Facebook and help Ms. Perry become the “face” of Maxine’s Chicken and Waffles!

Here’s what to do:

1. Log onto Facebook and become a fan of Maxine’s: www.facebook.com/MaxinesChickenAndWaffles

2. Look for the photo of Ms. Perry and click “Like” underneath her photo.

The photo with the most “likes” on Monday, January 31, will become the official “face” of Maxine’s Chicken and Waffles and will receive a prize package- including a ride in the Chicken Limo!

Vote for Ms. Perry today and perhaps we’ll have a celebration party at Maxine’s very soon!!

Orchestra A Rehearsal Change!

Please note that there will be NO MYO rehearsal tonight due to the weather. However, we WILL hold rehearsal tomorrow night (Friday, January 21) as a make-up for tonight. We're very close to the Invest in MYO performance and need to have as much rehearsal time as possible before Sunday. Tomorrow's rehearsal will take place from 6:30-8:30 PM at Christel House Academy.

Please remember that we also have rehearsal from 1:00-3:00 PM on Saturday, downtown at Hilbert Circle Theater. Please use the entrance at 32 E. Washington Street and plan to arrive by 12:45 PM so we can start rehearsal promptly at 1:00.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Betty Perry or me. Thanks for your flexibility this week! Be safe in the snow!
