Picture Day Notes | This Wednesday!
Wednesday is picture day for our ensembles. I really want to have everyone represented in our ensemble pictures. We have experienced tremendous growth over the past year, and we should document it with a fine group picture.
Students can leave their concert clothes in the orchestra room in the morning. All students will be given time to change into concert attire to start the period on Wednesday.
We will take more pictures than needed, but we do need to submit a group photograph to the yearbook. Don't forget your concert attire on Wednesday!
Baskets for Taste of Mira Mesa
Please help our orchestra by helping put together a basket to be auctioned off at the Taste of Mira Mesa. 100% of the proceeds from any donated basket will donated to our orchestra program. Ideas: a movie basket, food, a basket for personal pampering, anything! So, chat with local businesses and help our program.
Help us coordinate baskets, which are due by March 15th. If you bring in the items for the basket, we will even put it together for you. This is a great fundraising opportunity for us - let's take advantage.
Honor Concert Notes
The SDUSD Honor Band & Orchestra concert is this Saturday at 7:00 PM. The concert is at Copley Symphony Hall, and admission is free. Mira Mesa is represented by 37 band and orchestra students, by far the most of any school in the district.
Come on out and support our incredible musicians as I know that they will be putting on a fabulous concert.
