The Week Ahead: The Week of November 5, 2017

2018 Orchestra Spring Tour – First Parent Meeting Nov 6th

 

The Spring Tour Parent Meeting is Monday, November 6th at 6:30 in the orchestra room.  Ms. Doemel and Mr. Mori have put together a wonderful enrichment opportunity featuring at least one master class and a possible performance at a historic venue.  Other musical and leisure activities are in the works, but we need everyone’s help.

The deadline for everyone’s $200 deposit was last Friday. PLEASE GET YOUR DEPOSITS IN. These funds are needed for our wonderful trip planner, Mrs. Aida Hutchison to secure the booking of our hotel rooms at an amazing discounted rate. If you need special payment arrangements, please email Ms. Doemel at Carol.Doemel@cobbk12.org so we can accommodate your budget. For Freshman parents, this trip is an awesome opportunity for our newest members to both experience musical enrichment and forge their friendships that will last a lifetime. For the upperclassmen it will enhance their tour memories from earlier years.  We don’t want any student to miss this special trip! Students are currently signing up for their rooms, so the excitement is already beginning!

The room assignments were sent via Remind  text. Please ask your student. To receive Remind notifications for Lassiter DC tour, text 81010 and write @lhsodc.
Please find the Honey Baked Ham and Avon fundraisers for your son or daughter to help fund their trip down below.

Please be there for all the details and Q&A with your orchestra directors and your Head Chaperone and VP, Mrs. Audrey Donahue.
Details about trip and Payment Coupons.

Upcoming 2nd Semester Orchestra Auditions, November 8th

Auditions for all Orchestras are from 4 – 9pm. Outside adjudicators will be coming in only for this evening so we ask that every student make every effort to be at their assigned audition time to take their audition. Check you student’s audition times. If there are any questions regarding audition times, please contact Mr. Mori at koji.mori@cobbk12.org.

Tri-M Recital on November 10th
