Kendra Scott Orchestra Fundraiser and Performance

On Wednesday, November 12th from 5:30-7:30 pm, come listen to the AHS orchestra students play at the Kendra Scott flagship location at 1701 S. Congress Ave. while shopping in store, then grab dinner on South Congress! Orchestra will earn 20% on all purchases during this 2-hour window. Kick off your Christmas shopping while helping orchestra!! Street parking for the event is available.

Students should arrive 20 minutes before their performance time, as groups may take less time than the allocated time. They can leave as soon as they are done performing, but should listen to at least one more group perform, either before or after their performance.  The performance attire is a maroon orchestra t-shirt, black pants or a black skirt, and black shoes.  Students, please make sure to have your instrument, music, rock stop, and rosin.

Letter Jacket Fittings

Hey Juniors and Seniors, you’ve earned it!  Letter Jacket fittings will be Wednesday, November 19th, from 8:30 to 9:30 am in the Orchestra Room. The jacket and the orchestra letter are FREE, thanks to the Orchestra Board. Additional personalization will be at student expense. All Juniors and Seniors who have not already received a jacket are eligible. Keep an eye out for order forms coming your way this week!

The orchestra relies on adult volunteers for different events throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering or know you will be volunteering in the orchestra room and helping students, please submit an application on the AISD Voly site.
