9/23/24 - Orchestra Updates

Hi all, 


The Brewers game was a great success, we have been asked to perform for NBC15's Sounds of the Season again, and there are over 350 4th grade beginners in orchestra this year!


A couple of orchestra items for this fall day:


1) LAST CALL: There are still spots open on the Italy Tour for Spring Break 2025.  Right now we have around 100 participants fgrom orchestra and choir.  Registration officially closes on September 29.

  • ITALY FAQ DOCUMENT

  • To register, there are 2 steps to complete (both linked in the FAQ doc):

    • Fill out our Google Form

    • Head to the Contemporary Tours web site and register/pay the deposit

    • Make sure you have done both steps please!

  • Yes, families can join us!  Full info is in the FAQ doc–make a family vacation out of the tour!


2) LAST CALL: Concert T-Shirts are still for sale on the booster website.  Purchasing yours helps us cover all costs, and donations are also welcome.  Shirts will be maroon this year, with a brand new design.


3) The Orchestra and Band Boosters are selling ads that will go into the glossy concert program.  Senior shout-outs, ads for your business, and ads for businesses you know all make the program cost-effective and personalized and an addition to the community.  Please consider purchasing an ad at our booster web page.


4) Speaking of the MCP Orchestra Boosters: We can use you on our board and on our committees!  Every one of you could have the skill set we are looking for: "I would like to help the orchestra teachers bring great musical experiences to our MCP orchestra students."  


  Specifically, we are looking for the following:

-- Board opening: Vice President/Events Coordinator = time committment about 5 hours per month, no experience in the boosters necessary, no automatic movement to the president position  Help coordinate and facilitate booster events.

-- Board position: PR/Social Media = time commitment about 8-10 hours per month.  Maintain and collect content for booster social media accounts.  Communicate with local media about events.

-- Board opening: Historian = time commitment about 3 hours per month.  Work to create a full history of the orchestra program in the district.

-- Fruit Sale Committee: Help organize the largest fundraiser of the year.

-- Fruit Sale Future Chair: In the 40 years of the fruit sale's existence, there has never been a fruit sale chair who was an orchestra parent--alwasy the band side.  I would very much like that streak to end.  Most of the proccesses are in place and to a large extent the sale runs itself.  Could you shadow this year and take over next year?

If you are able to help us with any of these, please drop me a note!


Enjoy the end of your September!
