In the Director's Corner

The Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra had great performances last Friday at the CMEA festival. I was proud of how far they have come this school year and look forward to watching their continued growth as musicians. 


Did you read above that we have 74 students in this year's HS Honor Band and Orchestra? This is the largest number of students we have ever had from Mira Mesa HS between the two honor ensembles. Congratulations to all of our students! Congratulations also to Mr. Mulvaney who will be conducting this year's Honor Orchestra. Go Blue Team!


Parents and students of the Wind Ensemble will have their final Chicago trip meeting next Monday, March 25th at 6:15 pm. Details of the trip itinerary will be discussed, a packing list will be given out, and two more forms will need to be signed. 


Have a great week! 


All In, Always. 

💙💛,

Mrs. C
