The MRHS Music Department will be traveling to Orlando, FL to participate in a music festival sponsored by Music USA. The purpose of the trip is to perform for a nationally acclaimed panel of judges, receive feedback and an onstage clinic with the adjudicators, compete with musical ensembles from all over the nation, hear performances of students from other schools, build and foster camaraderie among our musicians, and most importantly, to build on the outstanding reputation of the Marriotts Ridge Music Department. This trip is a team building activity that the students will remember long after high school.
In order for our ensembles to be at their best, ALL students are expected to participate. This is an HCPSS approved trip. Students will be allowed ample time to make up missed work and assignments in their other classes as they are technically “in school” during field trips.
There will be a MANDATORY Pledge Night meeting for all student participants and at least one parent/guardian on Tuesday, April 6 at 7pm.
We will be using CCIS to help coordinate the trip this year and will be using their online registration and payment portal. EVERY participant must register on the site and ALL payments will be made using this portal.
The portal will show a continuous running total for the cost of the trip. After you make your initial payment, you will have
the option to make monthly payments or pay as much up front as you wish.
Once we know how many participants will be on the trip, we will let you know the final per person cost.
Please take advantage of our Student Fundraising options to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs!
