Still have room for FREE FIELD TRIP to Heinz Hall with a GUIDED TOUR and a concert!!!

There is still room on the bus, but I need to know by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20 if would like to join us for the Saturday, February 25 field trip to Heinz Hall to see the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra.

The parents of the PYSO are providing a special FREE GUIDED TOUR of Heinz Hall especially for us.  Apparently we're the buzz of the Parent Association!

At the moment, we have a LOT more adults going on our trip than students.

Originally, this was a "thank you" trip for anyone who helped with District Orchestra, However, it would be GREAT to fill the bus, so anyone associated with our string program may join us, on a first come, first served basis.

We will be leaving from the JH parking lot at 10 AM on Saturday morning.  This is slightly different from the original time on the form.  Bring your lunch and snacks and drinks, since we won't be stopping for a meal.

We will return around 6:00 PM.

FAN BUS to HEINZ HALL on FEBRUARY 25 for all participants and helpers with District Orchestra

As a thank you to all who worked so hard on our District Orchestra festival, we are taking a bus to see IASD string student Joanna Li in the February 25  Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra concert!  Everyone who participated or helped out with our festival is welcome to come along, and we welcome families to join us!

A bus is a great way to see a concert without the hassles of driving into downtown Pittsburgh. We will leave from the Junior High School at 10:30 AM on Saturday, February 25.  We will hopefully have a backstage tour of Heinz Hall before the concert (still working on it)!!!  The concert will begin at 2:00, and afterward we'll stay a few minutes to congratulate our symphony stars!  We expect to get back to the JH around 6:00 PM.  Feel free to bring snacks or a lunch to enjoy on the bus.

The concert is FREE and open to the public.  There is NO CHARGE for this field trip for anyone who participated or helped in our District Orchestra festival.
  
Reserve your seat today!  Reservations will be taken on a first come, first served basis!  
  
We will accept reservations until we have 48 people (one school bus, two per seat).  

Come on out and support our AMAZING string students! 


Thank you so very much for your continued support of our school string program!


Please email me for a copy of the permission slip, if you are interested.  EVERYONE (even adults) must fill out a form!!!!  

ALSO...keep Sunday, April 30 at 7:30 on your calendar...it's the Spring Johnstown Youth Symphony Orchestra concert!  More info on that to follow!
