The Hillgrove Orchestra’s Fall Concert will be held next Thursday, October 26 at 7 PM in the Hillgrove Theater. The concert should last about 40 minutes with no intermission. After the concert, there will be a very short Booster Club Meeting to discuss future activities for the year.
Here is some important information regarding the day of the concert. It would be very helpful if there are any parents that are available to help manage the afternoon. Please give me a call at school (678-331-3961 ext. 249) or send me an email (david.doke@cobbk12.org).
1) Students should plan on staying at Hillgrove after school on Thursday, October 26th until the concert. IF students do need to go home after school, please make arrangements to be back for a dress rehearsal at 5 PM SHARP. The schedule for the rest of the evening is very tight…please be on time.
2) After school on the day of the concert, Lifetouch Studios will be set up to take individual portraits from 3:30 - 5:00. There is no obligation to buy, but everyone should have a portrait made with their concert clothes and instruments. Portraits will begin immediately after school in the orchestra room. (Group photos will be taken on stage at 6 PM.)
3) I will be ordering pizza for orchestra students after school. If a student would like to have pizza, they will need to bring $4.00 for the pizza and some change for a drink out of the vending machines here at school. We will have the pizza in the hallway outside of the orchestra room between 4 and 5 PM. Students must remain in the immediate Fine Arts area between 4 and 7 PM. DO NOT WANDER THE HALLS!
4) Both orchestras will rehearse together on stage from 5:00-5:45. This is extremely important…this is the ONLY opportunity that we have to rehearse together. Please make plans to be at this rehearsal.
5) Group photos will be taken on stage at 6 PM.
6) The performance will begin promptly at 7 PM.
7) Please make sure that all students have appropriate concert clothes for the performance.
Gentlemen will wear black pants, black socks and shoes, white shirt and black bowtie. A black suit or tuxedo would be appropriate as well.
Ladies will wear long black dresses or black pants/skirt with black hose, black shoes, white blouse. Please keep exposed skin to a minumum…no spaghetti straps and go easy on the jewelry.
This is going to be a great first concert for us….the first of many! Please let your friends and family know about it, and be sure to come and support these talented young musicians!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the concert!
