Winter Concert 2007
I am very proud of everyone's performance on the recent concert. The level of performance was the best that I have heard in my three years here at Mather. I admire your dedication, focus and commitment. I am most pleased by the turnout of students. We had over 95 percent attendance by our Mather Musicians.
I am also happy to hear from folks in the crowd that our students were generally a good audience. As you know, it is very important for us to support our colleagues by not only attending their performances, but also by listening while they play.
We have two more performances this year. Now that you have some experience performing in a large group, I am looking forward to your hard work and hearing even more improvement when we return from winter break!

Mariachi Club
Hey Everyone
Why not try the Mariachi Club? We meet in room 301 on Wednesdays after school. No experience necessary, but we're looking for guitarists, violinists, violists, bassists, vocalists, keyboard players and trumpeters.
Have fun and learn, sing and play some Mariachi style music.

What do you think of orchestra so far?
So beginners? What do you think of orchestra so far? I know we barely can make a note on our instruments, but... any comments. Good or bad!
