World Projects loves to see the impact our festivals have on young musicians! #worldprojects #music #musicfestival #WDCIMF17 #WDCIMF #musiceducation #musiceducator #musiceducationmatters #repost from @hansonn.t ・・・ I will never forget how bonkers FF to the end in Rainbow Body was, the immense amount of crying we all did after we played the last note, the insane roar of the crowd and the entire audience giving us a standing ovation, and how proud we all were after seeing Mrs. C and Mr. Mulvaney getting handed GOLD plaques for both our groups outstanding performances. This night will be one to remember for ages... 4/16/2017

* New * Orchestra Course Code, the NOW Ensemble, and Disney

5/4/2017

*** NEW *** Orchestra Course Code
With grades closing this week a significant number of students will soon see a new orchestra course on their transcripts. Our third year orchestra juniors will now see 'Orchestra 5,6' appear on their report cards and school transcripts.

Our Mira Mesa musicians are the first students in the district to receive this designation and they are more than deserving of this new classification. This new course code will better serve our musicians and families, as it will enable our students to show (on their transcripts) a continued commitment to their craft. Given that we were successful in implementing this course, one should expect that we will be tasked with piloting Orchestra 7,8 for our fourth year senior musicians during the 2017-18 school year.

Many thanks are due to our Visual and Performing Arts Department, and Ms. Laura Williams in particular, for helping facilitate this positive change for our students and community. Thank you!

Area Concert

Area Concert
Thank you to all of our families, friends, and musicians who made our recent Area Concert a success. Mira Mesa really is a wonderful community to be a part of - and the community should take pride in their music programs, from elementary school all the way through to the high school.

Thanks again for making Mira Mesa a fantastic place to be!

Bravo, Mira Mesa!
