Parents, you must arrange transportation home for your student following the concert.

The Mabry Sixth Grade Orchestra will participate in the Cobb County String Jamboree on Tuesday, March 21st at Wheeler High School. Sixth grade students from Mabry, Dickerson, Dodgen, East Cobb, Hightower Trail, and Simpson Middle Schools will combine for this fun and exciting performance.

After school that day, students will have a pizza dinner at Mabry then travel by school bus to Wheeler H.S. The rehearsal with all six schools combined will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. Parents should arrive by 6:45 for the 7:00 concert. In the past there has been a large crowd so arrive early for a good seat. The overflow parking is across the street at East Cobb MS. For this concert students will wear nice blue jeans (no holes) and a nice, solid white shirt (not an undershirt). Bring your cool shades for Happy Blues!!

Each Student will need to bring:
1. A folding stand, labeled with your name and school.
2. Your instrument, rock stop and bass stool if necessary (If your child will use a school instrument it must be returned to school by 9:00 on Wednesday, March 22nd).
3. Your music.

We also need several chaperones. Any parent that would be willing to help serve pizza and clean-up after the dinner and/or ride the bus to Wheeler with us, please indicate below. We also need help transporting the cellos and basses. We look forward to a great String Jamboree and hope you will be there.
