UDSD HONORS ORCHESTRA

February 5, 2025 

Dear Honors Orchestra students and families,

Thank you all for your hard work preparing for the Honors Orchestra concert next week! We have been watching the weather forecast and although it is a little early to know for sure, we wanted to share our snow date plan in the event that schools are closed next week. These plans are only in place if schools are closed next Tuesday or Wednesday. Hopefully we won't need them and can proceed with the original scheduled dates. 

Snow Date Plan 1: If evening activities are cancelled on Tuesday 2/11:

Dress Rehearsal-Wednesday 2/12 6:45-8:45

Concert-Thursday 2/13 at 7pm

Snow Date Plan 2: If schools are closed and/or evening activities are cancelled on Wednesday 2/12

Dress Rehearsal-Tuesday 2/12 6:45-8:45

Concert-Thursday 2/13 at 7pm

Other Reminders:

The dress rehearsal is our last rehearsal before the performance. Students should be in their seat ready to play at 6:45 so we have time to rehearse every single piece and run the concert order. 

Dress for concert night is black pants/skirt and white shirts!

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

Thank you,

Ms. Yang, Mrs. Noonan and Mrs. Huang
