Big Bear Strings keeps their unbroken Gold Rating streak alive! Equally as important is how well these students represent our Big Bear community! But most important is the dedication of Sharon Rizzo and her supporters in keeping alve a program whose entire funding fell victim to school budget cuts.
Below is a message from Sharon, the orchestra’s director, to her students…
Dear Elementary Orchestra Students,
Thank you for yet ANOTHER AMAZING DAY FOR STRINGS!!!! Not only did you continue our unbroken streak of Gold Ratings, but I was even more impressed that this first time “Clinic with Roger” was such a success… BECAUSE OF YOU KIDS!!! You did EVERYTHING he asked, but what I was so proud of was your ENTHUSIASM. I know you all wanted to get to Knotts after getting up so early, but you all just powered it out and listened to his every word with eagerness!!! I never even asked you to do that, you just did it!!. The same goes for your etiquette as audience members when listening to other schools’ performances…when I heard kids talking during performances, I looked over and you were ALL AS QUIET AND ATTENTIVE AS LITTLE MICE….it was the other schools’ kids that were making all the noise…thanks you for that….again, I NEVER had to tell you all how to behave in a performance, you JUST DID IT RIGHT!
As for the rest of the day, things ran so amazingly smoothly, and to all the parents and chaperones who were there….you are AWESOME!!! I meant it when I said I would take you ANYWHERE…this was a BREEZE!!!
Love,
Sharon
