Germany Trip Interest Meeting
This Thursday marks ONE YEAR to the day from our flight to Germany!!
SO...... we're going to celebrate by having an interest meeting? If you're trying to convince a parent or guardian to get on board with this trip, bring them to the interest meeting this Thursday at 6:00 pm in the Orchestra Room! We'll have a representative from the travel company with us to answer your questions and get us excited about this trip!

Mountain View High School, Sunny Hill Road, Lawrenceville, GA, United States
Rehearsals for Black & Gold, Concert, and Symphonic!
These are part of your grade!
Just in time for the Holidays! They make great gifts!
These pictures will be available for purchase from JDG Photograper in three packages that include the following:
Package A---- $45
1-- 8x10" Student Portrait
2-- 5x7" Student Portraits
1-- 8x10" Group Shot (your student's orchestra class all in formal attire)
Package B---- $40
1-- 8x10" Student Portrait
2-- 5x7" Student Portraits
8-- Wallet Sized Student Portraits
Package C---- $50
Individual Student portrait and group photo, both on a disc (so that you can print as many of whatever size you would like!)
If you do not wish to purchase photographs, your student(s) still need(s) to bring their formal uniforms to school that day so that we can take GROUP pictures! These will be the photos we use for the yearbook! Unfortunately, students who forget their uniform will not be in the yearbook picture with the rest of their class.
Bring your formal uniform to class on November 29!
Here are some examples from a few year ago!
Join and get into the Winter Showcase or Symphony free!
All the money raised goes DIRECTLY to making orchestra an awesome experience for YOUR student! (Ask them about the Ice Cream Social! It was fun and FREE for them; provided by funds from membership fees! Ask about their favorite piece! It was purchased with money from membership fees!) We also offer a ton of awards at the end of the year, plus scholarships for music summer camps, cash rewards for our biggest honors, and a $500 scholarship in honor of a former student.
Every member family receives FREE admission to EVERY orchestra concert in which their student is playing the whole year! Ordinarily, tickets will cost $5 each!! PLUS, member students get discounted admission to other orchestra events (some are even FREE!) like the tailgate on October 14!!
On a personal note...
Y'all are the best!
