New Stuff!

Group Lesson this month will be on Wednesday, October 28th at 4 p.m. As is our tradition, we will be working on "Spooky Stuff" such as spider crawls, ghost tones, the pendulam swing, left hand spider walk, tic tocs, and more! These things all relate to GOOD POSITION! Good position helps us sound better and play better. It has been said that it takes 21 days to change a habit. Therefore, constant effort is required to change some of our poor position habits.
Be sure to keep the thumb bent at all times doing the spider crawl on the bow and take small steps!

A reminder: We will play a Christmas Medley at the River Ridge Stake Christmas Fireside on Sunday, November 29th at 5 p.m. There will be a rehearsal on Saturday, the day before at 9 a.m. So far our medley will consist of Angels We Have Heard On High, The Infant King, and Away in a Manger.

Please remember to mark your 10 minute practice cards. We can accomplish anything if we do it in small increments!
