Spring Trip documents
Below are links to the information pages for the Spring Trip. I would have just put them directly on this page, but the sizing default didn't allow you to view the whole page. I also have information on family tag-a-long packages; if you are interested in that, feel free to email me.

Welcome (Back)!
The school year has gotten off to a good start, and I am excited about this year in orchestra. For the first time ever, RRMS has an Advanced group of 3rd year players! Students who are beginners have just started out on instruments, and seem to be very excited (as well as competent)!
I just received sample polo shirt sizes Friday afternoon, so we will check sizes and finalize the shirt order next week. Polos are $16, and in addition to the concert shirt, students have the option to purchase another shirt in a different color if they would like. Crew neck sweatshirts (which may be worn in school) and hoodies (which may not be worn in school) are also available for those who are interested.
The advanced group and the 6th grade beginners will be putting on our first concert, in two parts. The first part will be the beginners, giving an "informance" to give their parents a glimpse of what class is like in orchestra, and the second part will be the 8th grade advanced group showing what is possible at the beginning of year 3. They will present a few tunes that are "out of this world" - we're doing a Space theme. This concert/informance will be Friday, October 29 @ 5:30 in the auditorium.
I am currently posting from home, but sometime next week while I'm at school, I will post a schedule of concert dates so you can access those online.
I recently handed out blue sheets regarding student participation in our Spring Trip. Please return these as soon as you can, so I can get an idea of who will be going with us to Myrtle Beach! We had tons of fun last year, and I'm looking forward to another great trip this year, this time with the entire performing arts department!
I hope everyone has/had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
