Spring Trip 2023

Music Department Spring Trip 

Universal Studios, Orlando, FL  April 19-23, 2023

Dear Music Students and Families, The MRHS Music Department will be traveling to the Universal Studios in Orlando, FL to participate in a music festival competition. The purpose of the trip is to perform for a nationally acclaimed panel of judges, receive feedback and a clinic, compete with musical ensembles from all other schools, hear performances of students from other schools as well as our own, build and foster camaraderie among all of our musicians, and most importantly, to continue to build the exceptional reputation of the Marriotts Ridge High School Music Department. This trip is a wonderful team building activity and the experiences will be remembered long after high school. We will be traveling on luxury motor coach buses. All school system and CDC COVID recommendations will be followed for the duration of the trip.
