Golden Music Recruitment Fundraising Opportunity - HRHS Training Session 8/16/2016 at 7 PM
Our first fundraising opportunity is right around the corner 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 signing up will need to attend a short training session in the HRHS Orchestra room on Tuesday, August 16th, at 7 PM. The training will last approximately 90 minutes. Approximately 10 volunteering events for this fundraiser will occur beginning the week of August 15th and extending through Labor Day week. 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 on Tuesday, August 16th, at 7 PM in the HRHS Orchestra room. The HRHS Orchestra Boosters are asking for your help to make this important first fundraising opportunity a success. We hope to see you on Tuesday. Please contact Ryan Woodworth with any questions you may have prior to Tuesday's training session at rswoodworth@dcsdk12.org.

Superior Ratings at State-Wide CHSAA Competition
CONGRATULATIONS to all of the HRHS Orchestra and Wind Ensemble Members for their unheard of performance and honors at the state-wide CHSAA competition this week!
We had three ensembles perform -- Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and Full Orchestra. All three ensembles received a straight sweep of Superior ratings. It is very rare for even one top ensemble to receive a straight superior rating. I have not heard of another school in the state accomplish this feat with three ensembles.
