Fall Concert and Uniform Information
The Fall Orchestra Concert will be held on Thursday, October 22nd at 7PM in the Joseph Boland Theater. Advanced and Mastery Orchestra students need to be at school, dressed and ready for more publicity photos at 5:30. We will have a brief rehearsal immediately after the photos. Intermediate Orchestra students should arrive at 6PM. All students are expected to stay for the entire concert, which should end shortly after 8PM.
Concert uniforms and orchestra polo shirts were delivered today. Students may pick up their uniforms tomorrow (Tuesday). Please try on your uniform to make sure it fits…dresses will likely need to be hemmed. Try to do this before the concert on Thursday if possible.
Discounted Rooms for Parents in Savannah
Parents,
The Hilton Garden Inn Savannah Historic District has extended their group rate of $109.00 per night to Hillgrove Orchestra parents that will be attending our performance at the GMEA State Conference. The orchestra will be staying here on Wednesday and Thursday nights (January 27th and 28th).
If you are interested, please contact Cathy Cason at the Hilton Garden Inn at 912-790-4703.
Savannah Trip Deposit Due Nov 1st
If you are a member of the Advanced or Mastery Orchestra and plan to perform in Savannah at the GMEA State Conference, a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $100.00 is due by November 1st.
It is critical that I know who is planning on performing for programming purposes. I also need a final number in order to determine the final cost of the trip. At this time the cost is still estimated to be $250-300 per student. Costs for chaperones should be about $150.00.
More detailed information will be available by the end of this week and will be posted on the blog.
As always, checks should payable to HOBC. No Cash.
Thanks,
Doke
HOBC News
The October HOBC meeting was quick and painless. Here are the highlights:
The Krispy Kreme fundraiser has been very successful so far. We are selling Krispy Kremes every Tuesday and Thursday morning before school for $5.00 per box. Money from this fundraiser will be used to offset the cost of transportation for the Savannah trip.
Teresa Caldwell was installed as the HOBC Fund-raising Chair.
Thanks to Eric Wright for securing a venue for the Orchestra Banquet, which will be held at Burnt Hickory Baptist Church on May 14th.
The Annual Orchestra Dinner Theater will be held on December 3rd. Parents volunteers are still needed.
The Fall Orchestra Concert is coming up on Thursday, October 22nd, and All-State / Honor Orchestra auditions will be held on October 24th at Westminster.
If you haven’t paid your 2009-2010 orchestra dues, please send in your $50.00 check, payable to HOBC, ASAP.
