FUKUOKA PREFECTURE EXCHANGE CONCERT
On Tuesday, August 22nd, 2007, the Roosevelt’s Chamber Orchestra hosted a cultural exchange with students from the Fukuoka Prefecture of Japan. Seven Japanese students performed with the Chamber Orchestra from Roosevelt. The music students from both schools were given the unique opportunity to bond with students from another country. They knew as much English as we knew Japanese therefore there was a definite language barrier. However, we communicated just fine with a series of hand motions, head nods and a lot of bowing. We ended up having a lot of fun! 2009 ORCHESTRA TRIP We will be scheduling a trip meeting sometime in May or early June to give parents an update and status of the trip. Currently, the dollar is taking beating against the Euro and estimated cost will be extremely high for Vienna. If parents and student still intend to pursue the trip, we will do everything possible to make it a reality. We are also looking at alternative venues that we may be able to do as well. HASTA PARADE OF ORCHESTRAS Congratulations on all three orchestras for their performance at the recent Parade of Orchestras held at Pearl City High School on April 12. The Concert Orchestra received and "Excellent" rating while the Chamber and Symphony Orchestras received a "Superior" rating.
