Tapestry ProgramPRESENTS

“Tapestry” | Tonight’s Theme Welcome to our 2012 Spring Orchestra Concert, “Tapestry”. Before going into tonight’s program, I would like to thank you for choosing to join us this evening. Our student ensembles have worked diligently in preparation, and I know that they are eager to share their work with their family, friends, and supporters.
In the weeks leading up to tonight’s performance, many ideas passed through my mind. However, in the end, there is one underlying sentiment that I want to express – gratitude. There are any number of people for whom I am grateful – our wonderful students, their parents, the VAPA faculty here at Mira Mesa, our administration, school support staff, our string coaches, the Mira Mesa Instrumental Music Boosters (MMIMB), fellow music educators who have so generously shared their time and talents with us, and the Mira Mesa Community at large. In short, I see tonight’s concert as a collaborative effort, made possible though the collective efforts of everyone within our community.
On to our theme – “Tapestry”. A tapestry may be defined as “an intricate combination of things or sequence of events”. Given the above sentiment, it is my hope that tonight’s program serve as a reflection on, and a musical interpretation of, the tapestry of events, experiences, opportunities, and individuals who have helped shape the 2011-12 academic year. Some pieces are represent individuals within our community, while others represent experiences that have helped shape our time together this year. More will be revealed about specific compositions throughout the course of the evening.
Again, thank you for joining us this evening, and thank you for your continued support of music and music education here at Mira Mesa High School.
Sincerely,
Program
