Our Spring Trip plans have been published. Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band and Orchestra will all participate in a 2 day trip of the bay area April 26-27. Events include a musical exchange with another high school, a San Francisco Symphony Performance, clinics with the music faculty at Sonoma Sate University and more. The cost is just $200 for students and $150 for chaperones. The new tour contract will be released this week. It is my expectation that ALL students in these ensembles will participate. If there is a financial challenge, I can arrange extra fundraising or scholarship opportunities. For more complete info as it becomes available, check the "Spring Trip 2013" tab at the top of the page.
We have extra fundraising opportunities for the coffee sale for those who missed out! You'll be able to check out a Grab Bag or buy individual items at our concerts this week. Selling a Grab Bag will earn a student $50 account credit, or 25% of the spring trip cost! For those who did order their Grab Bags, they will arrive either late this week or early next week.
Our next Family Dinner Night is Thursday, December 13 at Blue Rock BBQ. Get more info and help us promote the event at our facebook page. When you eat at Blue Rock, they will donate back 20% of your order to our program!
Your Live Review is due next Friday, December 14. Get more info on the Live Music Page.
