At 6:15 p.m. all students should be in the MNHS auditorium ready for instructions from the directors. We will rehearse the combined orchestra (approximately 160 orchestra members) from 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Concert order this year will be MNHS Alternative Styles Ensemble, MNHS 1st hour Orchestra +winds/percussion, featuring cello soloist Eshaan Giri, followed by the combined orchestras (Kentucky Jam, Gabriel’s Oboe, The Magnificent Seven).
While the students are rehearsing for the concert, there will be an informal meeting for 8th grade orchestra parents, led by current MNHS Orchestra Parents and selected MNHS Orchestra Students, to orientate them on the MNHS orchestra program and the opportunities their children will have as members of the MNHS orchestra program. These parents and students will talk briefly about what orchestra is like, performance groups, orchestra parent participation and will be able to answer questions attendees have about the orchestra program. This meeting will run from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. in the orchestra room (1520) – which is in the music wing. Parents – if you are willing to serve on the panel, please email Mrs. M 🙂
The concert will be over by 8:30 p.m. There is no admission charge, although donations are always welcomed!
