Professional Orchestra Photographs 

Michael Rosser Photography will be on campus this Wednesday, October 19th  10:30a – 3p, exclusively for the Lassiter Orchestra!  This is a unique opportunity to have your musician professionally photographed with her/his instrument in formal dress, or other appropriate attire.  Proofs will be delivered to the school in order to make a selection, and then the prints will be available at school following placement of a final order.  Prints are $15 each, and packages start at $30.  20% of revenue comes back to the orchestra to support our programming! We are also offering an optional outdoor sitting for an additional fee of $10; Michael will select an appropriate location on campus based upon both weather and lighting conditions – reservations for the outdoor sitting must be made in advance.

News from the Lassiter String Academy

A few reminders:

-If a student has a lesson scheduled on a sectional or rehearsal day, go to the lesson unless Ms. Doemel says otherwise in advance.

-It’s okay to keep the lesson schedule on concert days, just go to the lesson, then be on stage in formal attire at the designated time.

-Lesson cancellations shall be handled by student and teacher.  Teachers have a master schedule from Ms. Doemel and know when lessons need to be cancelled or rescheduled.  Students are responsible for keeping-up with their lessons, and missed lessons are still charged.

Questions?

For accounting, email Amy at StringAcademy@lhsoa.org
For scheduling and policy, email the directors at lassiterorchestras@gmail.com


CPA Needed for LHSOA Financial Audit

The LHSOA Board of Directors is seeking a CPA with audit experience to perform an audit of our finances as required by our organization’s by-laws.  We would prefer to have a CPA provide this service to us pro bono, or a reduced fee so that our monies can be used for programming for the kids instead of professional services.

Please send a note expressing interest to Jonathan Warner at president@lhsoa.org.
