2017 Cruise trip – Important!!
Dear Lassiter Orchestra Parents,
We are so excited about the Lassiter Orchestra’s Carnival Cruise Performance! Our first two rehearsals were so productive……3 to go! Please make sure all of your student’s forms have been turned in along with the color copy of their passport and “notarized” medical form. Right now we have outstanding balances and that is not leaving us enough money to pay our final payment to our tour company, so please get those payments in as soon as possible. March 27th at 6 PM our Cruise Orchestra will perform a few selections for parents followed by a brief “pre-boarding” meeting. More information on this date to follow.
Bon Voyage!
Contact Ms. Doemel or Mr. Mori at lassiterorchestras@gmail.com for any clarifications.
March 2017 Spring Orchestra Auditions
Orchestra auditions for Fall 2017 class placement will occur on Tuesday, March 14. As outside judges will be adjudicating the auditions on this evening, it is imperative that all orchestra students attend during their audition time on this day. Each student’s audition times were sent out via Remind but can also be found here: March 14 Audition Times.
If there are issues, please contact the Orchestra directors at:Carol.Doemel@Cobbk12.org and Koji.Mori@Cobbk12.org.
