« Mabry Symphony | Main | CODA Festival »

This went home in a letter dated 2/15 but here it is again.

Mabry Seventh and Eighth Grade Orchestra Students will participate in the Cobb Orchestra Directors Association (C.O.D.A.) Middle School Orchestra Festival at Dodgen Middle School.  The Seventh Grade Orchestra will perform on Monday, March 5th  at 6:25 p.m. and the Eighth Grade Orchestra will perform on Tuesday, March 6th  at 7:15 p.m.

This is an important performance and all students are expected to participate.  The performances are open to the public and you are encouraged to attend.

We will have a pizza dinner at Mabry before we leave for Dodgen.  Dinner will be provided with funds from our fall fundraiser.  We will leave Mabry after dinner and travel by school bus to Dodgen. The Cobb County Board of Education provides school buses free of charge for transportation to festival.

IMPORTANT  There is no return transportation provided.  Please arrange pick-up from Dodgen at 8:30 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.

IMPORTANT  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.

As always, we need parent chaperones for this field trip.  If you can ride the bus to Dodgen with us, or provide transportation for string basses and cellos please contact me at Chris.Doemel@Cobbk12.org

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 11th Annual C.O.D.A. Festival.
