6th graders need the Essential Elements book Essential Technique, the old version, not the 2000 version. (The old version is all green and has a large E on the cover.) 7th and 8th graders need the Essential Elements book Advanced Technique. The easiest way to get the book is to contact your rental company and have them deliver it to Haines. All students need the book by the 2nd week of September. Thanks!

Concert dress for all students is as follows:
Boys: white collared button down shirt, (short or long sleeve depending on weather) black pants, black or dark dess shoes, black socks. Tie encouraged but optional.
Girls: Solid White dress top (sleeveless is fine but students must follow school dress code) black skirt or pants, nude or black pantyhose or tights, black dress shoes. Opentoed shoes or sandals are fine. Skirts need to be at least to the knee when sitting down and performing. A minimum of printing should be on the skirt. Cellists are encouraged to wear pants or a very long, voluminous skirt.
