LGPE Final Reminders/Timing: Please read all!

2/11/2025 2:05 pm

Orchestra Families- Just a reminder about LGPE Wednesday and Thursday.  We've worked hard- now it's time to enjoy outstanding culminating performances of this repertoire!

Remember that this is a major grade our ensemble equivalent of an EOC exam- FCS requires that every ensemble class participate.  The feedback we receive annually from the LGPE judges is invaluable from a growth standpoint.  

Full schedule below, including performance times if you plan to come, which is encouraged!  

Essential info for students/parents: 

Concert Orchestra, Wednesday- Bring concert attire, instrument, music to school...you will change before we depart; your teachers have been notified that you will leave 6th period at 2:00 pm to report to the orchestra room, change, and load the bus; bring a snack if you think you'll get hungry; no candy, gum, goldfish, or sugary drinks allowed on the bus- cleaning fee strictly enforced (bring water and easy to clean snacks)

Chamber Orchestra, Wednesday- Arrive already dressed in concert attire at Alpharetta HS with instrument, music, etc. ready to warm up at 5:30 pm; follow signs and look for a chaperone to gather/take you to warm up room- if anything is unclear, I'll send a GroupMe message; use the parent parking lots near the auditorium marked on the attached map; eat a large snack or dinner before you arrive

Sinfonia, Thursday- Arrive at MHS by 5:30 pm ​dressed in concert attire and with all instruments, music, etc. and having already eaten dinner (or stay through but bring your concert attire and dinner); no candy, gum, goldfish, or sugary drinks allowed on the bus- cleaning fee strictly enforced (bring water and easy to clean snacks)

BASSES:

As I mentioned, they have performance stools, but probably none in the sight reading and warmup room.  You are welcome to bring your own or use a Milton stool- just know that it is your responsibility (we can help you carry stuff)

EVERYONE: Make sure instrument cases have name tags, labels, or tape before loading them on the bus (and in case anything gets misplaced or left behind)

*All times are pm
