This message is intended for all orchestra members, except Concert Orchestra.
Our trip to KSU is almost here! The students have been working very hard and will have a great experience at KSU tomorrow. I know we will receive some excellent feedback that will help shape our future performances. The students will also get to support each other, and listen to orchestras from other schools.
Permission Forms & Lunch Money
All permission forms have been turned in, however if you have not paid for your lunch, please bring $9 or a check payable to AHSOA and deposit it into the box in the orchestra room. Alternatively, you can pay for your lunch online at http://www.alpharettaorchestra.org/paypal/
