Welcome Bach to School 2018!

Dear Students and Parents,

Greetings! I hope you have had a wonderful summer and a chance to relax, and rejuvenate. I am so excited for the upcoming school year and hope you are too. We are going to have a great time making music and learning together!

The first thing on our agenda is the our “Bach To School” Mini-Camp. This event will take place over two evenings, Wednesday, August 1 and Thursday, August 2 from 6 PM to 9 PM in the AHS Orchestra Room and Auditorium.

The event will be filled with fun, some music making, a guest conductor, and getting everything ready for the start of the school year. The orchestra leadership team will be putting together the activities, and I know it will be a great time. We will be serving pizza on Wednesday and will have an ice cream social on Thursday.

In order for us to know who will/will not be attending and to help provide an accurate pizza count, EVERYONE should RSVP using the link below. Please RSVP by Sunday, July 29.

Please let us know if you will be able to attend both days, just one of the days, or neither days. While the mini-camp is not required, it is highly encouraged and will be a great way to have some fun, get to know your fellow orchestra colleagues, and possibly break the spider webs off of your instrument. You all practiced diligently all summer, right??  😉

I’m looking forward to seeing you on August 1!!

Sincerely,

Dr. Laux
