Violin Recital Logistics ... we are 6 days away

I can't believe that the recital is less than a week away. Everyone has been working so hard on preparing their songs. I am so proud of these kids and their efforts. I wanted to get some of the logistics to you. It's going to be a wonderful event with 33 performers and 5 ensemble performances. If you haven't already purchased your tickets from the USML office please do that as soon as possible.

Our act is scheduled to start promptly at 1:00 pm. Please plan on arriving early so you can find a seat and students can get their violins and bows unpacked and strings tuned before start time. If the students that know how to tune can come up and assist others with tuning that would be really helpful as there is not a lot of time between acts. Please check to make sure they have their violins, bows, shoulder rests and music before leaving the house. If they can rosin their bows before leaving the house that too will help everything to move more efficiently.

I would love to have the students pose for quick group photo just before start time if at all possible. Since I will be helping the students; I will need to count on the parents to snap the group photo and send and/or post. Students should dress in black, white, or black & white for the recital. Also, I would love it if you could send any photos that you take of the recital to jill@griffinviolinstudio.com. If you post photos on Facebook or instagram if you could add hashtag #griffinviolinstudio that would be awesome.

To keep things moving I would like for the students to pay close attention to the program and come up and quietly wait by the side of the stage while the performer before them is playing so that they are ready to walk up on stage right when it is their turn.

February 9, 2020, 1:00 pm, Cal State San Marcos

Please encourage your student to continue practicing as much as they can this week so they are well prepared and confident. Thank you all for all of your efforts with staying informed, bringing your student to lessons and rehearsals, and by encouraging them as they are playing and practicing at home. I appreciate you all so very much.

With joy and gratitude,

Ms. Jill
