​Greetings! I missed my weekly update last week, but this week's parent info meeting should make up for it.

Parent Informational Meeting - Thursday 2/28 - 6:30 pm
I'll be talking about the music classes for next year, spring schedule, concert attire, Summer dates, and everything in-between. Students attending San Francisco must have a parent in attendance. 

Winter Guard Medals!
In their first winter guard performance since the 2017 season, the Winter Guard earned the Bronze medal at Aliso Niguel HS! Their show entitled Guiding Light is shaping up to be very enjoyable and I'm proud of all their hard work!

Last Winter Guard Payment - $100
Due Monday March 4th.


Seeking Donations/Volunteers for Upcoming Fundraisers
We have two fundraisers approaching; Concessions at Open House Night and the Pechanga Turnaround Trip. In addition to needing volunteers for concessions night, we'll need donations for the concessions stand and gift cards and/or food items for the Pechanga bus ride to use as prizes and goodies. Keep an eye out for the Sign-Up Genius email from Andrea Ellison for more info.

Upcoming performances!
Many performances coming up! Jazz band on Tuesday, March 12th, 5:30 pm @ CHS Open House. Spring Formal Concert on Thursday April 18th @ the CHS Theater. March 20th the Wind Ensemble will perform at the ABC Concert Festival! Check the spring calendar and mark it on yours!

See you Thursday!

VAPA Holds First Cross-Curricular Event!
The Visual and Performing Arts Department held our first cross-curricular event by taking 80 students to the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. Students had the pleasure to watch Cirque Zuma Zuma; the only all African stage show in the United States! That's not all; before and after the performance students worked in cross-curricular groups to discuss the process of bringing a stage show to life! I am really excited for the future of VAPA at CHS!

​Thanks for reading,
