July 31 - August 3 and August 7 - 10 9 am - 4 pm Where: Come in through the Arts and Athletics entrance at RHS. What to Bring: Items for outdoor activity such as tennis shoes, sunscreen, hats, bug spray, etc. Also, I am requesting that every family bring a case of water to be used throughout the season. Bring a lunch. Bring your instrument. The camp is free but you will get some forms to order items that will be needed throughout the season. We will have water provided throughout the day and popsicles in the mid-morning. The students helped me pick out the music this year and it is really fun! See you soon!

The Honors Wind Ensemble and Honors Orchestra will be performing in a special concert next week. Our set will include the Wind Ensemble setting of Eric Whitacre’s Goodnight Moon - World Premier. This is a beautiful work for Wind Ensemble and Soprano based on the famous children’s book. From the Composer: Over the first six years of his life, I must have read Goodnight Moon to my son a thousand times, maybe more. Somewhere around reading number 500 I began hearing little musical fragments as I read, and over time those fragments began to blossom into a simple, sweet lullaby. I knew it was a long shot, but I asked my manager, Claire Long, to contact HarperCollins and see if they would allow the text to be set to music. To my surprise and delight they agreed – the first time they had ever allowed Goodnight Moon to be used in such a way. Both High Point University and Ragsdale will feature Lindsay Kesselman as our soloist for the evening. Hailed by Fanfare Magazine as an “artist of growing reputation for her artistry and intelligence…with a voice of goddess-like splendor”
(read her bio) https://www.lindsaykesselman.com/biography The concert will be at High Point University Tuesday night at 7:30pm We will be in the Hayworth Fine Arts Center (number 2 on the map) http://www.highpoint.edu/campusmap/ Here are some photos from the last semester. For some reason my collage maker cut off the edges of the photos and not every important event or fun moment was captured, so if you have any good photos, please share!

Thanks to everyone who has stopped out at our fundraiser! If you'd like to see the quality of mattresses, please come on out. We will be here until 5 pm.
The Online Payment System Registration Deadline is Tomorrow, September 21. The payment collection is in the hands of an external company so that doesn't give us much flexibility. If you are interested in the trip, you must get your payments in on time. See the last post in the "News" Section of the band or orchestra website for the needed documents and directions.
