Grüß Gott!

The Doemel's are in Germany for a few weeks. We landed today and have already done so much!. Click on the pictures for a larger view of some castles and scenes. What a fastidiously beautiful country. We will visit Bonn to see Beethoven's house and Vienna, home of so many wonderful musicians. Stay tuned.

Sumer Is Icumen In

...is a traditional English round, the oldest example of counterpoint, a music composition technique, in existence. The title might be translated as "Summer has come in" or "Summer has arrived", The language is Middle English, more exactly Wessex dialect. It is the oldest piece of six-part polyphonic music in existence. Its composer is anonymous, possibly W. de Wycombe, and it is estimated to date from around 1260.

Thank you to the departing 8th grade students. Many of you I hope to see regularly at Lassiter. You helped make this a great three years for me and I have enjoyed working with you. I’m proud of what we accomplished and hope you are also.

I hope you have a wonderful high school experience. Please keep in touch.

Spring Concert

I apologize for not posting lately. I have experienced technical difficulties that are now fixed.

Our last concert of the year is tonight! Hopefully you received the letter I sent home with details.
The 8th graders were to bring in their concert clothes today and stay after school for a final rehearsal
and to combine the two classes. They will have a pizza dinner at school at about 5:45.

6th and 7th graders are to arrive at 6:15, dressed and ready to play. 6th graders will meet in the band room, 7th graders in the chorus room. There will be a reception in the cafeteria following the performance. See you there.

Mabry Symphony

The Mabry Symphony WILL rehearse tomorrow morning, Thursday, May 3rd, at 8 a.m. Please arrive early enough to be ready to play at 8.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to (from L to R) Ian M., Jessica I., and Katherine J. for being chosen to be part of the 2007 Cobb County Middle School Honor Orchestra. After auditioning, they were chosen from hundreds of middle school string players to participate. The performance, at McEachern HS on Saturday, April 14th, was a wonderful example of the wealth of talented musicians being developed in Cobb County. Jessica and Katherine are 8th graders who will be part of the Lassiter HS Orchestra next year. Ian is a 7th grader! Congratulations for this honor that your hard work has brought you!

April 26th, 27th, 28th at 8:00 pm

Atlanta Symphony Hall

PROGRAM:

MACMILLAN: Britannia
BRITTEN: Sinfonia da Requiem
ELGAR: Pomp and Circumstance Marches Nos. 1 and 4

Donald Runnicles, conductor
Scott Long, Highland bagpipes

Mr. Runnicles takes us to his British homeland: the source of Elgar’s popular success, Britten’s deeply felt and universal anti-war ode, and “a trajectory of exuberant fun” from Turnage. From Scotland comes a loving evocation of a wedding, which ends with a bagpiper greeting the dawn of a new day.
