Mark your calendars for our Orchestra banquet and awards ceremony on Saturday, May 11 at 6 p.m.  The Orchestra Boosters will provide pulled pork, and we are asking everyone to sign up to bring a side dish or dessert.  The sign-up genius link will allow you to RSVP, as well as sign up to bring a dish.  Please do this by Sunday, May 5th so we can get an accurate headcount for the main dish.  The banquet is for all students and families!
 
We will open the doors at 5:30 p.m. to bring in dishes.  Dinner will be at 6 p.m. on the HRHS Auditorium stage.  After, we will clean up and then proceed to our awards ceremony and senior recognition.
 
We hope to see you all there to celebrate our Orchestras' efforts for the year.

Back in the swing of it!

After the crazy of the past 2 months, we finally are getting back to normal.  I just wanted to update everyone on a few bits of news.

First, our calendar: 
Our next concert is Tuesday, March 12 at 7 p.m in the HRHS Auditorium.  We are working on another Dairy Queen restaurant night as well, and I'll let you know if we can get that pinned down.
 
We will also host Strings Camp on Saturday, March 30.  This is an all-day event that lets our high schoolers spend time with younger students helping them work on their technique and bonding over crafts, lunch, and more!

It's not too early to start thinking about our Orchestra banquet on May 11.  This is a night where we can honor our seniors, look back on the past year, and, of course, enjoy dinner.  It's a great time!  Parents of seniors, start thinking about how to decorate your student's board now.  We will provide the board, and you can decorate however you like with pictures, etc.  You will hear a lot more about this and our banquet as we get closer to May.

Second, we've got some great photos from our Winter Concert up on our Facebook page.  Go take a look what nice work Kelly Maxwell did for us!

Also, I've added a "Boosters" page to our website!  This is where you will find our Booster meeting agendas, minutes after our meetings, and our financial information.  Please be patient on the financial part as I'm having trouble loading it, but it will be there soon.  You are all part of our Boosters, and we would love to have you come to our meetings.  They are usually the first Tuesday of the month; our next one is March 5th at 6:30 p.m. in the Orchestra room.

Last but definitely not least, don't forget to keep using your King Soopers and Safeway cards when you do your grocery shopping! This is one of the ways we are making up our budget from not doing the $100 fee this year.  We need everyone's help to get the most benefit from this awesome program!

As always, if you have questions about anything in this post or in general, please feel free to contact Sandra.
