First Parade w Violin on Oct 11

It's official. The Extreme Strings Orchestra will perform on Saturday October 11, 2008 as part of the annual Columbus Day Parade. The event is scheduled to start at 11:00 AM and wind it's way through the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh. Starting location is at Liberty Avenue and Baum Blvd. on the border with Shadyside and will finish at the Bloomfield Bridge. We don't do any Italian music yet but we will be rocking with our newest tunes "Back In Black" by AC/DC and one of my fiddle tune originals "Grand Canyon Jump" as well as all of our Jazz, Rock , and Fiddling favorites.. You are invited to line the parade route and cheer us on

By the way, we got off to a great start in our first "unofficial" session this past weekend. The kids sounded great and we worked on a bunch of new tunes.

Any student can join as early as this Saturday. Come on down to CAPA before 9:00 AM so we can talk to you and introduce what we are doing. There is much more information on our web site http://www.extremestrings.com/Site/Home.html

This event is open to all ex-XSO'ers and graduates
