Orchestra Updates 9.25.24

Hauntcert Volunteer List

The SignUpGenius is now available for Hauntcert volunteers. This concert is a massive undertaking and we simply cannot make it happen without the help of many, many individuals. None of the jobs require serious time commitments, but are critical to the show's success. We would love to set a new record and have the entire list filled by October 1st - please help us meet that goal and sign up to volunteer!


Rehearsal Reminder

Don't forget our next combined Hauntcert rehearsal will be Monday, Sept. 30 from 3:30-6:00 pm. This is a required rehearsal of all Chamber, Intermezzo and Sinfonia orchestras. Please make sure that rides are waiting in the staff parking lot at 6:00 (students will not be allowed through the building to the front doors/main lot unless they have driven themselves to school). Cello players who get rides to school should bring their instruments from home that day as we do not have enough instruments at school to accommodate them all. Instruments can be left in the orchestra practice room before school. 


Hauntcert Spirit Wear

Hauntcert spirit wear is now for sale - this is optional for any students or parents wishing to pick up a t-shirt, long sleeve tee, or hoodie. The store closes on Oct 6th at midnight. Click here to place your order! 



An Odd Request

We are in need of "fake groceries" for one of our Hauntcert events and are hoping your family can send some items in. We are looking specifically for canned goods if you own a can opener that opens canned goods without leaving sharp edges. I have found if I carefully wash out the inside of the can without damaging the outer label, I can superglue the lid back on when the can is dry. We can also use boxes (cereal, soda, etc) that have been carefully opened and then taped back together (or other creative "groceries" that don't contain food). Please ensure that any items are VERY food free as the orchestra is not looking for any new roach mascots this year ;-)


Poinsettia Sale Reminder

Don't forget poinsettia orders are due next Friday, Oct 4. Please make sure to complete the form in its entirety and follow all instructions. Please put all materials into an envelope with the student's name on the outside when bringing to school.
