First concert is Thursday, Oct. 2 @7 PM!
This is a required, graded assignment for all MNHS Orchestra students.
Orchestra students report at 6:30 PM for warm-ups; concert should conclude by 8:15 PM.
We do have a concert attire dress code – long-sleeved black dress shirt, black dress slacks, black dress shoes, black dress socks that go to mid-calf. More detailed guidelines may be found in the orchestra handbook. (Students, remember to turn in your concert attire photo in Google Classroom.)
MNOrch concerts are a good time!
Please plan to attend, and invite your neighbors, friends and family as well! Our kids do great work – it will be an evening to remember! Plus, we all bring refreshments for after the concert (please sign up to bring refreshments 🙂
We have our concerts recorded by a professional videographer, who also provides a livestream on YouTube, so friends and family can watch from wherever they may be! (Link will be available soon by email.)

If your child would like to purchase a used, floor-length black dress for concerts, we have some available for $40 each. Please contact Mrs. Martinez if interested.
As a general rule, skirts and dresses are not permitted, as I prefer not to take on the role of monitoring hemlines. However, if you wish to request an exception, the following criteria must be met:1. The skirt or dress must be ankle-length 2. It must have sufficient fabric to allow for wide-stance seating.
