RECENT NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS

It's time to talk ABOUT CAKE!

Families, we are gearing up for our last big fundraiser of the school year, the Grandview Heights Cake Walk! On Friday April 14, from 6:30-9:30pm, we'll take over the GHHS gymnasium for a few hours of fun, sweet treats, and fundraising. This huge undertaking, led by Band Parents  CAtt Dimes and KatE Lobley for the second straight year, is only successful with help and contributions from each and every one of our instrumental music families. Funds raised through this effort will support opportunities like the Ohio State field trip that our fifth and sixth graders took this year, and the orchestra's recent trip to a ProMusica concert downtown, as well as solo and ensemble programming, Band Camp, and lots of other initiatives.

We can't do it without YOUR HELP! Please visit the Cake Walk page for more information, and plan to add your name to the signupgenius just as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your support of our students!

ANOTHER GREAT FIELD TRIP EXPERIENCE!

Mr. Stanley recently partnered with Columbus's own ProMusica Chamber Orchestra for a great in- and out-of-class learning experience for our 7-12th grade orchestra students. ProMusica presents an innovative program called Naked Classics, which explores classical music in a fun and fresh format through multimedia images, animation, sound bites, and interviews with the musicians. ProMusica engages professional composer, presenter, and animateur Paul Rissman to lead the program, and Mr. Rissman visited GHHS along with one of the ProMusica musicians to provide an in-class preview of the event last week.

Then Mr. Stanley and the students and a few lucky parent chaperones took in the full program, titled Mozart, Journey of a Genius, on Friday, March 3 at the Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus. Mr. Stanley enthusiastically reported that the students had a great time and declared that "we'll be doing more of this in the future!"

The GH Band Parents Association is proud to have supported this extended learning opportunity for our orchestra students! And, as always, we are so grateful to all of you for helping us raise the funds that make these types of events possible. Thank you!
