Orchestra Update 10.14.25

Rehearsal Reminder: Our combined Hauntcert rehearsal for Sinfonia, Intermezzo, and Chamber orchestras will be held Monday, October 20 from 3:30–6:00 pm. Please make sure rides are prompt and all students are picked up in the bus lane at 6:00.

Faculty Preview Concert: The Faculty Preview Concert is this Wednesday, October 22. Chamber Orchestra will perform at the beginning of the faculty meeting. Students should wear their new orchestra t-shirt and jeans and bring a lunch to eat beforehand. We’ll begin as close to 12:45 as possible and should finish around 1:00.

NOPA Meeting: The NCHS Orchestra Parents Association will meet Monday night, October 20, at 6:30 pm in the orchestra room. We are entering the final Hauntcert planning stage and could really use a strong turnout. If you signed up as a volunteer for a specialized job, this is also a great opportunity to touch base and finalize details.

Hauntcert Volunteers: We are still really in need of volunteers - especially for Tuesday night decorating during the dress rehearsal, an additional stage manager, help during the Saturday tech work day, and more hands to assist with tear down after the show. Every bit of help makes a difference, and we’re so grateful for those who have already stepped in.  Click here to volunteer!

Candy Donations: We currently have only 11 of 50 spots filled for candy donations, and we need quite a bit more. Please send candy to school as soon as possible so we can monitor our progress. Be sure to also add your name to the SignUpGenius so we can keep track.

Parent-Teacher Conferences: A quick reminder that there are not nearly enough slots for every student, so please reserve appointments for parents who have concerns about their student’s progress, wish to discuss collegiate music plans, etc.
