Keep in Mind: The Flagler Youth Orchestra Strings Program, a special project of the Flagler County School District, is launching its eighteenth season.

An open house and information session will be held August 31 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Flagler Auditorium, 5500 State Road 100, in Palm Coast. Flagler County’s public, private, charter and home-schooled students, 8 years old and older, may sign up to play violin, viola, cello, or double bass. Beginner, intermediate and advanced musicians are welcome. Tuition is free. Limited instrument scholarships are available. Students will learn about the enriching world of classical music and many other genres while receiving comprehensive string instruction in a player-friendly environment twice a week after school. One-hour classes are held at Indian Trails Middle School on Mondays and Wednesdays between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m., depending on your child’s time slot. Some scheduling restrictions apply. Attend the August 31st orientation at the Flagler Auditorium to learn more about the strings program and how to get started. For more information about the program, call (386)503-3808 or email [email protected].

Notably: Finally, a birthday worth celebrating without qualifiers–it was actually yesterday, but as Faulkner said, the past is never dead. It’s not even past–though this birthday is probably banned from mention in Florida schools: James Baldwin’s (1924). Gay, Black, beyond liberal: enough to fill AdventHealth Palm Coast’s ER with apoplexies. Colin Kaepernick’s knee, Ta-Nehisi Coastes’s World, John McWhorter’s anti-Ta-Nehisi screeds, even Black Lives Matter: they were all, they are all, in Baldwin. Only Malcolm X rivals him.

 

Now this: The interviewer tells Baldwin toward the end of the interview: “Sounds as if you believe that slavery put a curse on us, somehow.” “Well,” he answers, “it is a curse, you know, the American sense of reality is dictated by what Americans are trying to avoid, and if you’re trying to avoid reality, how can you face it?” A statement that refutes House Bill 7.

Everything now, we must assume, is in our hands; we have no right to assume otherwise. If we–and now I mean the relatively conscious whites and the relatively conscious blacks, who must, like lovers, insist on, or create, the consciousness of the others–do not falter in our duty now, we may be able, handful that we are, to end the racial nightmare, and achieve our country, and change the history of the world. If we do not now dare everything, the fulfillment of that prophesy, recreated from the Bible in song by a slave, is upon us: ‘God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water, the fire next time!'”

–From James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time (1963).
