Important Updates

News from Mr. Bernier:

Wayne Toews, the adjudicator for the strings section of music festival, will be holding a free strings workshop at River Academy next wednesday, March 19!  For more information and to register, please contact Linda Alberts (she will have handouts for you).  This would be a great event to participate in!
Here is Mr. Toews bio, and while I don't have the music festival program in front of me I am sure it will have Mrs. Alberts contact info for you.  Miss Campbell always has a program on her (because she is participating in a gajillion categories) if you have not purchased one yet.

Next, and equally importantly, it is once again time for the annual
Prince Albert Strings Orchestra Concert!  I have not seen a poster yet,  but Mr. Bernier has shared a bit of the playlist with me and it sounds like it is going to be as awesome as ever.  It will be held here at Rivier Academy on Sunday, April 13 at 7:00 p.m.  Tickets will be available from Mr. Bernier or from any of the Rivier students who are also members of  PASO - just ask and they will be more than happy to sell you one!

I won't do a duplicate post of all of the music festival times since I notice that Miss Campbell posted all them for you already - but I will send positive thoughts to all of you who are working hard to prepare your pieces in the next few weeks!
