Our first fundraising opportunity is here, and we are soliciting volunteers to participate. Golden Music (website: goldenmusic.co) is offering an opportunity to raise funds if we can coordinate groups of volunteers to work several events with them.
Any parents and students interested in helping will need to attend a training session in the HRHS Orchestra room on Thursday, August 31st, at 4 p.m. Then our first event kicks off with EBOP Instrument Rental Night at 6 p.m.!
Approximately 10 volunteering events for this fundraiser will occur over the next few weeks. Golden Music has requested up to 20 volunteers per event. Each event will last approximately 4 hours. We understand that your time available to dedicate to volunteering can be limited, but we would like to supply as many volunteers to as many events as we can to make the most of this fundraising opportunity. Students and families can receive volunteer hours, and Orchestra lettering points for participating in the training and working the events.
More information about the events to be worked, locations, dates, and times will be provided at the training session tomorrow. The HRHS Orchestra Boosters are asking for your help to make this important first fundraising opportunity a success. We hope to see you there. Please contact Ryan Woodworth with any questions you may have prior to tomorrow's training session at rswoodworth@dcsdk12.org.

Plan at least an hour to get everything done. Come at 6:30 and hit a few stations before the short 7 p.m. presentation, or come at 7 p.m. for the presentation and do everything afterward.
Here are the highlights of our agenda:
- Concert Attire** (scroll to the bottom of this post for details)**
- Fundraising for your $100 Student Fee and opportunities for personal orchestra-related expenses
- Orchestra Merchandise
- Volunteer Opportunities
- Friends of the Orchestra
Do these things at home before you come!
- Print the Checkoff Sheet for class credit, IMPORTANT!
- If you need concert attire, take your measurements at home and bring your completed Recording Sheet (print and complete one from below). There will be a limited number of previously worn dresses available at this time for purchase at a discounted price.
- Why do we ask you to measure at home? Students consistently agree that being measured by a stranger is ... umm ... awkward. Plus it saves a lot of time on the night of our meeting! If you come without measurements, please keep in mind that it may take considerably more time for us to complete your fitting.
- TUX Measurement Recording Sheet
- CHAMBER DRESS Measurement Recording Sheet and Instructions
- SYMPHONY DRESS Measurement Recording Sheet and Instructions
- Click below for additional helpful resources:
- General Tux Info and Pricing Info
- General Concert Gown Information and Pricing Information
- Video with measurement instructions (Ignore the initial part about ordering instructions. This is just a great instruction video!)
Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday night!

Sign-up for Orchestra Parent Text Message Reminders
HRHS Orchestra Families,
Orchestra parents/guardians are able to sign up to receive text message reminders of important upcoming events. These text alerts are infrequent and often used in conjunction with only a subset of the Orchestra e-mails. Participation is voluntary but potentially helpful if you check your e-mail infrequently or if the Orchestra informational e-mails are getting lost in a sea of spam.
If you want to receive these messages but do not want to get them via text message, an alternative is to receive these messages via the REMIND app, which you can download to your smartphone. Your orchestra student should already be receiving similar messages as part of a separate classroom REMIND group set up by Mr. Woodworth.
To receive these periodic messages, send a text message to number 81010 with @orchparen in the message field.
Again, enter this number: 81010
Text this message: @orchparen
Participation is optional, and you can leave the group at any time if you no longer wish to receive these messages.
