It's never too early to start planning your accu-cut die cutting. We've always carried a music related die, the 2x3 inch Treble Clef, but we've added several new dies to this years catalog. They include:
Drum w/Stick 3x3 inch
Guitar 5X2 inch
Music Note 5x3 inch
Double eighth note 3x3 inch
Piano 4x4 inch
Tuba 5x2 inch
Trombone 6x2 inch
Trumpet 1.5x5 inch
Tuba 5x3 inch
Violin/Cello with Bow 10x3 inch
In a few months, the new dies will be made available for delivery. However, if you would like to begin before the rush, you are welcome to use any of these during the week right here in our office. A few of your colleagues have begun using the dies as they travel to participate in some of our CE workshops. You're welcome to do the same.
See, there's another great benefit in attending a SEMLS workshop--MULTI-TASKING.

I've mapped out the most direct route to Friedman Middle School on the day of the Performer's Showcase. You can of course use Mapquest but I'd highly recommend our directions. Last year's performers thanked me profusely for such helpful landmarks on their journey to the school. If any of you are familiar with the routes and would like to offer your sure-fire directions, feel free to offer them! In the meantime, this will have to suffice....
Directions to
Benjamin Friedman Middle School
55 Norton Avenue
Taunton, MA. 02780
(Ph): 508.821.1614
From I-495 North or South
Take I-495 to Bay Street exit (exit 9) toward Industrial Park Road. Turn onto Bay St./Taunton (Rt. 138) road. Turn right (North) at light onto Industrial Park Road. Industrial Park Road becomes Myles Standish Blvd. Continue through Park for approximately 2.5 miles. As you continue (North) on Myles Standish Blvd. it turns into Crane Avenue S. Eventually you’ll cross a set of railroad tracks and a yellow (merge) road sign. Less than 100 yards on your left, you should see a small white ENTER HERE sign. Turn left at this Norton & Harvey Street turn.
Continue through the residential neighborhood for approximately 3 miles. The road will begin its set of double-yellow lines as you draw closer to the school. Turn right at the tennis courts where a large stone-encased marker reads “Oakland Education & Community Complex”. The Friedman Middle School parking lot is on the right. However, if you bear right away from the school sign and proceed (parallel/North) to the left of the school where the larger parking lot lies, this would be the ideal place to park--near the school library door entrance.
