Parents,
First of all, I want to thank you all for getting your kids at school on time Friday. I know it was an early morning!! The Orchestra had a wonderful performance and got a 90% and an 86% rating from the judges. I hope we continue improving for our next contest that will be coming up on May 13! I also want to say that the kids were very well behaved at Silver Dollar City and did a great job representing Hickory Hills! It was great to be able to give them such a treat after all their hard work, so thank you for that!!
I wanted to inform you of a change in our schedule. Our concert that was going to take place tomorrow, May 3rd has been postponed due to the track meet that so many of our Orchestra students are involved with. I know this is short notice, but I hope it will work out better for everyone.
This is our updated Orchestra calendar for the remainder of the year:
Tuesday, May 10- 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Spring Concert - 7 PM
(Please have students arrive at the following times:
6:00- 6th Grade
6:20- 7th/8th Grade)
(Orchestra t-shirt and black slacks)
Friday, May 13th- All City 7/8th Grade Orchestra Festival @ Evangel University (Performance will be during school hours- I will send out an updated email when I get confirmation about our performance time)
Wednesday, May 18th - 6th Grade Orchestra Festival @ Drury University (During school hours- performance time will be 11:00 AM- parents are welcome to attend)
Thursday, May 19th- All City 5th Grade Orchestra Concert @ Glendale High School, 7 PM
Also, I just wanted to remind you, if you haven't paid for your child's Orchestra t-shirt, the cost is $8.00- checks can be made out to Hickory Hills. If you do not plan on purchasing a t-shirt, but your child borrowed one for the Silver Dollar City trip, please wash and return it asap.
Thank you for all that you do!
Please let me know if there are any questions about these dates!
Sincerely,
Marcy Kamler
