July 5th – Berks Summer Strings #2

I realize many of you may be on vacation or still on vacation. We are still rehearsing. Come when you can, don’t when you can’t. Last week had 112 with us. Either way, we hope to make music with you soon.

All rehearsals are at the Governor Mifflin Intermediate School. Enter the doors facing the Governor Mifflin Park Elementary or the doors facing the Amphitheater.

Berks Summer Strings ’22 starting soon.

We have good news and we have new news. We have over 150 string students registered for our 2022 summer sessions! Almost triple of last years’ participants! How wonderful. BUT I don’t think it will be possible to overlap any of our groups. So we are doing a slight change in scheduling so that all groups may use the large ensemble rehearsal room this summer. I hope this doesn’t make a hardship on anyone! See you soon!!
