Astounding - A Look Into Mira Mesa
Before even delving into this week's schedule I want to take a minute recognize how incredible it is to work alongside the Mira Mesa students, parents, fellow teachers, and community. I've never seen a school related programs provide the amount of quality educational opportunities and experiences listed below.
Our students, this school, and the programs are truly second to none. A brief look back at the past few weeks will reveal: amazing honor band and orchestra concerts at Copley Symphony Hall featuring over 40 Mira Mesa High School student-musicians, Mira Mesa's own Mrs. C being recognized (again) by the district for her exemplary teaching, a freshman saxophonist making the All-State band, the Chicago Symphony concert, a Wind Ensemble Superior festival performance at El Camino HS, six amazing Phantom of the Opera performances (plus two shows for feeder schools), a festival concert with Madrigals and Wind Ensemble, a weekend-long color guard competition (hosted by Mira Mesa at both our school and at the University of San Diego), a Composer's Festival with Samuel Hazo, an on site concert by Tchaikovsky International Music Competition winner Narek Hahknazaryan, and continued master classes for orchestra musicians with the best string players in San Diego.
Truly, it's inspiring to be part of the Mira Mesa Community.
