Just a Reminder

It’s OFFICIAL!! The Plymouth High School Band, Choir, & Orchestra will be touring the State of Hawaii over spring break next year! A non-refundable deposit of $100.00 per person is due on May 16 for this tour.

This tour is open to students that have met all of the participation requirements for the 2008-09 school year. Since the trip will take place during the 2008-09 school year, the current 8th grade students will be participating in the trip (as this will take place during their freshman year) and the the current Seniors will not participating in the tour.

The music students will be staying on the island of Oahu and visiting famous sites such as Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and Polynesian Cultural Center. The highlight of the trip will be a tour of Pearl Harbor and performances near the Arizona Memorial.

Congratulations!

This past Saturday members of the Crimson Connection competed in the ISSMA Organiztional Choral competition held at Warsaw High School. Competition included the preparation and singing of three required pieces of music, plus a session of sight reading. The ensemble received a Gold Division rating in both categories and an overall ranking of Division Gold! Congratulations to the Crimson Connection!
