Orchestra Feeder Festival 2017
Thursday November 9, 2017
Highlands Ranch High School Orchestras
The Highlands Ranch Area Orchestra Feeder Festival is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017. We are putting on a fun and unique performance with legendary Rock Violinist Mark Wood. We are looking forward to an evening full of rehearsals, a fabulous concert, and lots of fun with Mark Wood. The Feeder Festival will be at Highlands Ranch High School, with the concert in the gymnasium at 6:30 p.m.
- In order to pull off this great community performance, we need volunteers. HRHS families, please help! (Log in with school code HRHSOrchestra, then go to the November calendar, and click on the hand on the dates for feeder fest and/or Mark Wood concerts.)
- HRHS Orchestra has been donated a Mark Wood SVC Stingray electric violin that we will draw for at the Thursday night concert. Tickets are $5 each, and 5 for $20. Bring cash or check, and we hope that you win! You must be present to win!
- King Soopers Cards will be available, are $5 to start, and can be reloaded for all gas and food purchases.
- Butter Braid orders are still happening; this is a great opportunity to still sell to EBOP and CMS families. Forms due Nov. 10 in class.
- Reminder that Mark Wood is performing both at Feeder Fest on Thursday, Nov. 9 and, as a grand finale, he is in recital Friday, Nov. 10 with HRHS Orchestras. These are TWO different performances, students are performing at both. Please help to fill the audience! Here is more information.
High School students need to plan to stay after school to help set up, rehearse, and then help with the middle school and elementary Orchestra students. Mr. Woodworth will have a copy of your official “Student Jobs.” Thank you for your mentorship and lending a helping hand. Our young musicians look up to you!
