We will have a pizza dinner at Mabry before we leave on festival day. Dinner will be provided with funds from our fall fundraiser. We will leave Mabry soon after and travel by school bus to Dickerson. The Cobb County Board of Education provides school buses free of charge for transportation to festival.
There is no return transportation provided, so we request you arrange pick-up from Dickerson at 8:15 P.M. Most of you will be at the performance and will provide transportation home for your child.
IMPORTANT! Students using school-owned instruments must return the instrument to Mabry by 9:00 a.m. the next morning.
Students will bring their concert uniform with them to school on festival morning. Concert dress for boys is solid black slacks, long sleeve white dress shirt with long tie, black socks and black or dark dress shoes. Concert dress for the girls is a long (ankle length or longer) solid black skirt or black slacks, long sleeve white dress shirt and black or dark dress shoes. Please adhere to these guidelines closely. This is an important performance for these young musicians and they should dress appropriately.
IMPORTANT! The 7th grade orchestra will have an extra rehearsal on Wednesday, March 1st at 7:45am. This will be the only time to combine the 2 classes.
As always, we need parent chaperones for this field trip. If you can ride the bus to Dickerson with us, or provide transportation for string basses and cellos.
Your children and the Cobb County Orchestra Directors put tremendous effort into producing this festival. Students should be practicing diligently on their festival music. We hope you will come out and support them at this exciting event. We look forward to seeing you at our 10th Annual C.O.D.A. Festival.
