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.
