Dates for end of this semester, beginning of next

Just so there are no surprises: the end of fall semester is Friday, December 16th. That is two weeks from this coming Friday (December 2nd).
I will then be on vacation for two weeks.
I will resume lessons at the beginning of my spring semester which will be Monday, January 2nd.
See you at next lesson!
Cheers, Tom

Instructions for players in Xmas stroll

Yes, Christmas Stroll is coming up this very Saturday! Here are the instructions for all players: Harpers, be AT THE POWDERHORN (corner of Main and Black) at 4:00 WITH YOUR HARP! You need extra time, because the harp has to adjust to the environment of the room.
All others, arrive at 4:30 SHARP! Please do not be late.
I need EVERYONE to arrive at these times, because it will be my only real time to make sure we are reasonably in tune. Once the show starts, I will be unable to help you with that!!
The show is split into 3 segments:
Suzuki violinists, 5:00
Harp players, 5:30
Fiddlers, 6:00
I would appreciate help from parents, getting harps in tune, between 4 and 4:30.
I appreciate your cooperation on this. I know some of you will have to arrive and tune quite a while before you perform. However, I have decided the above plan is the only feasible way for us to get in tune. Again, I will be quite busy once the show starts!
Thanks again for your cooperation!!
Yours, Tom
