​Good morning again Park Street Orchestra Families!

It seems, after having conversations with some students and emails, that there may be need for clarification of the intent of the Practice-A-Thon. 

First and foremost, this is an event to get students to practice (as we find at this time of year students can get into a bit of a practicing slump) and to work together as a group to encourage their peers to spend some more time practicing. The fundraising part, although it will be a great help in raising funds for the music program, IS NOT mandatory in any way. If you have not started recording practice time, please feel free to start now, any bit of practicing will help their section.

Two of our three prizes are focused on the time spent practicing, one for the individual who practices the most and a pizza party for the section that practices the most (on average.) Neither of these prizes have to do with fundraising, as I want everyone to have an equal opportunity to participate and have a chance to win.

If anyone has any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.​
