Hello everyone,
This is the final reminder for our Fall Concert tomorrow night, Tuesday, September 25 at 6:30 PM in the Alpharetta High School auditorium. Students who have RSVP’d to eat dinner with us should arrive at 5:00 PM. If students are not eating, they should arrive between 5:45 and 6:00 PM. Middle school students will arrive before 5:00 PM and will eat at about 5:30 PM.
Symphony and Chamber orchestra classes will meet for a combined rehearsal on stage before the concert. 4th and 5th period students should be in uniform, ready to play, at 5:30 PM. After our rehearsal, we will do a photograph on stage.
Each of the five orchestras will perform and we will be hosting the combined orchestras from Webb bridge and Hopewell middle school. Please welcome them! The finale of our concert will feature the famous “Ode to Joy” from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. There will be over 250 string players playing in unison!!
I hope for the concert to conclude around 8:30 PM. Once all of the groups are done playing, I am asking students to stay for an extra five minutes to help tear down, and clean up the auditorium. Students must sign out after the concert in order to receive their full grade. Sign out sheets will be displayed once everything has been cleaned up.
Our annual AHSO Program book will be on distributed at this concert. Thank you to the advertisers and parents who purchase personal ads.
Our wonderful AHSOA parents will be running the “Concert Cafe” and will have refreshments and other goodies available for sale. All proceeds benefit the orchestra program!
I know you will enjoy this concert and look forward to seeing you there! Please enjoy the concert promo video made by our own Philharmonia violinist, Sara Allen!
