IMPORTANT: Change in cruise payment procedure

We would like to share some information about the Lassiter Orchestra Spring Cruise Trip scheduled for March 29-April 3, 2017.

Six Flags Field Trip Cancelled

It appears lots of families have plans for next weekend.  Have a safe and enjoyable September break!

Cobb County Honor Symphony Orchestra

Last weekend selected Lassiter Orchestra students participated in the District 12 Cobb County Honor Symphony Orchestra at the Lassiter Concert Hall. It was quite a busy week with section coaching by members of the Atlanta Symphony, rehearsals and a performance under the baton of Dr. Clifford Evans from the University of Texas, Arlington. The Orchestra performed the Overture to Wagner’s Die Meistersinger, Hovhaness’ Psalm and Fugue, and ended with the Main Title for John William’s, Star Wars! They performed this incredibly demanding program extremely well. We are so proud of our outstanding musicians!

Lassiter Chamber I Orchestra

Performing for the Academic Letter Ceremony

A representative for the Cleveland Institute of Music will visit the Lassiter Orchestra during 5th period on Friday, Sep 23rd. CIM is one of the most prestigious schools of music both nationally and internationally. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our serious string students to ask questions and get information about the CIM faculty, auditioning and how to prepare for an audition at a major Music Conservatory. Parents are most welcome to attend.
