Concert(s) Week
It's concert week at Mira Mesa High School, which means we're (A)  in the "home stretch", and (B) in for a busy week. I hope the chronological information below will help everyone navigate their week.

Tuesday, May 28th | Coaching & Rehearsal Schedule
Tuesday represents our last coaching session for the year. I am incredibly grateful for the time and effort put in this year by our string coaches on behalf of our students (coaches pictured above). We have a tremendous group of talented, overly-qualified string coaches who have been with our Concert and Symphony Orchestra students each Monday throughout the year. Thanks again to bass coach Jory Herman (Individual Site, San Diego Symphony), cello coach Bing Yan, and Quartet Nouveau (violin coaches Kimberly Hain & Allison Chilton and viola coach Annabelle Terbetski). Simply put, there is no other school program in San Diego Unified that has offered this consistent access to such high caliber string professionals.

After school rehearsal will run from 4:00 - 5:00 for our combined Concert & Symphony strings, and will continue at 5:00 with our Symphony Orchestra (including piano, winds, and percussion). Yes, this is our last after school rehearsal for the year.
Wednesday, May 29th | Area Concert
Our Mira Mesa String "Area Concert" will take place on Wednesday. The concert will feature our intermediate and advanced students, as well as students from both Challenger Middle School, Wangenheim Middle School, and three of our elementary school music programs. Admission to the concert, which begins at 6:30 in the gymnasium, is free. There will be concessions available as parents/families wait for seating to open up starting at 6:15. 

The schedule for the Area Concert is as follows:
  • 4:30 - Setup (students needed to assist as we set the gymnasium)
  • 5:30 - Tuning (Mira Mesa students need to arrive before this time to assist little ones from our elementary and middle school feeder programs)
  • 6:00 - Rehearse combined number
  • 6:30 - Concert (Doors open at 6:15)

We are in need of volunteers for both concessions and to monitor the entrance. Please click here if you can help. Volunteers are needed starting at 5:00.

Thursday, May 30th | Spring Concert
The Mira Mesa High School Orchestras will present their annual Spring Concert on Thursday, May 30th. The concert begins at 7:00 in the newly refinished auditorium and will feature the work of over 160 students, including all of our string students (beginning, intermediate, and advanced).

Students may acquire tickets ($7) at the school box office (during lunch or during 7th period) all this week. In addition, tickets are available online. Obviously, all proceeds and funds raised will go towards supporting our student-musicians.

Call time on Thursday night is 6:00 and the concert will begin at 7:00.
