Orchestra Assessment

Congratulations to Sinfonia, Symphony, and Philharmonic Orchestras on their outstanding professionalism and performances at Assessment! Philharmonic and Symphony walked away with Superior ratings from all judges, and Sinfonia received both Excellent and Superior ratings. We are so proud of their hard work and the growth all of the groups have shown over this concert cycle!

 

Artist-in-Residence – Christylez Bacon

This week, Orchestra was joined by GRAMMY nominated artist Christylez Bacon for our Artist-in-Residence program. You can check out photos here - thank you to Joyce Boghosian for donating her time and talents to document this week! This the second part of our Wolf Trap Educator Grant we were awarded back in the Fall, which will culminate with a performance with Christylez on our Spring Concert on May 18.

Theater, Director Katie Brunberg

Advanced Theatre Students will be performing a unique assortment of Shakespeare scenes with a twist at the Shakespeare Theatre in DC on Tuesday, March 21st, as the culmination of their Shakespeare Theatre Residency program. Afterwards they will enjoy a professional production of King Lear. It will be a full and exciting evening of theatre!

The Improv Team competed this past Friday, 3/17, in the improv competition at South County HS.

Orchestra Merchandise – 

Our long-anticipated Orchestra Merchandise store is LIVE and can be found at tinyurl.com/AHSOrchMerch . We have a ton of items ready to go (with more in the line-up!) with several items able to be personalized.


Supporting Orchestra - Benevity

PLEASE check your corporate policies, many companies filter donations for employees through an entity called Benevity. ANNANDALE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA BOOSTERS is now registered with Benevity.

Benevity is a company that can help turn your volunteer hours into Donations for Orchestra!!! Please check with your corporate HR to see if your company uses Benevity. If your company does use Benevity, they may either match donations you make to the Orchestra Boosters, or you may simply need to record hours that you participate in orchestra events and your company may provide money to the Orchestra Boosters. (Some companies TRIPLE donations to charities made through Benevity and others offer a certain dollar amount of donation for time you're already spending participating in Orchestra events)

We know that Google, Visa, UPS, Starbucks, Booz Allen Hamilton, Microsoft and Netflix offer these options, but many mor in the area may as well.
