Hello Everyone!  Welcome to the FBC Orchestra Blog.  This will be a continuous work-in-progress, because the information on this page will change every week.  I'm am hoping this method of communication will work well for us.  I want to be able to give everyone all the information needed to stay in-the-know about the happenings of our group.  


So let me give you a brief introduction:


On the left, you will find a current schedule.  I will let you know if I have made changes to it so you can update your personal calendars.


On the right, is a list of all the pieces we should have in our folders.  If you roll your cursor over a title and it lights up, that means that clicking on it will take you to a recording of that piece.  Mostly, the recordings are on publisher websites.  Just look for the gray music player bars, or in some cases little blue play buttons, to start those recordings.  When you finish, just hit the back button on your browser to return to our page.


In the middle, you will find announcements, listed with the most recent announcement up top.  My goal is to update this page every Thursday.  So please check this page each week before rehearsal for any last minute changes you need to be aware of.  I have the blog set up so that you can access the announcements easily from any smart phone.  


Just so you are aware, I value your privacy.  You will never see any member's name or any personal information on this page.  Viewers are not allowed to post any comments or make changes to anything on this page.  Only my name and email address are listed at the bottom to allow me to be contacted should someone want any more information about our group.  Those of you who are members will still find my email and phone number listed on our weekly orchestra notes.


So that's it.  If you have suggestions for improvements (which I would love to have) or comments, send me an email.  I need all the help I can get!!
