2018 Orchestra Spring Tour to Washington DC – Who’s In?
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!
We will be offering a Honey Baked Ham fundraiser for your son or daughter to help fund their trip.
Mark your calendars for the Spring Tour Parent Meeting, Monday, November 6th at 6:30 in the orchestra room for all the details and Q&A with your orchestra directors and your Head Chaperone and VP, Mrs. Audrey Donahue.

From our Orchestra Director:
Dear Parents,
I wanted to congratulate our fabulous orchestras on their beautiful Fall Concert performance! All ensembles displayed such strong musicianship and professionalism throughout the evening. Mr. Mori and I couldn’t be more proud of our young musicians! I would also like to thank our hard-working LHSOA Board and parent volunteers for arranging such a lovely reception for our Orchestra families. It put the cherry on top of a great evening!
We have a few events currently in the works. Next Wednesday (11/1) at 7pm is our ‘Upcoming Freshman’ Concert. It will feature the Mabry and Simpson 8th Grade Orchestras and the Chamber I and Chamber II Orchestras. Please come support our future Lassiter Orchestra members! Our inaugural Lassiter String Academy Solo and Chamber Recital is this Thursday, November 2nd at 7pm in the Lassiter Concert Hall. This recital will feature student musicians currently studying in our LSA private lesson studios along with groups from our Chamber Ensemble ASE class. Please join us for a wonderful evening of solo and chamber music.
Thank you for your support of our Lassiter Orchestra Program
Sincerely,
Carol Doemel
