Enrichment Fees

Details about Orchestra Enrichment Fees and how to pay can be found here: https://harrisonorchestra.org/enrichment-fees/

Nashville Trip

Our Nashville Trip will take place on April 11-13, 2024. We currently have about a dozen students on the waitlist. We would like to take a second bus but will not be able to do so without having more students register for the trip. In the event that there is not enough for a second bus, we will prioritize spots by seniority. This means that even though you may have received a “confirmation”, our youngest students may be bumped off of the trip. If a student is bumped off the trip due to this reason, TMF will be able to refund your payments.
If you are still interested in having your student join us for our spring trip to Nashville, please sign up to join the waitlist as soon as possible here:

Harrison String Conservatory

We highly encourage taking private lessons as students are able to grow at a faster rate with one-on-one instruction. The HOB has created a private lesson program as a convenience for students to take private lessons after school on campus. More details can be found here: https://harrisonorchestra.org/lessons

Winter Orchestra LGPE Prep Camp

The Winter Orchestra LGPE Prep Camp will take place on February 3, 2024.
See our detailed schedule here: Winter 2024 Orchestra Camp Schedule

All students are expected to attend as this is an important weekend of growth for our orchestras as we bring in several professional clinicians to work with our students. We will need snack donations as the students will have a mid-morning snack. Bananas and prepackaged snacks such as granola bars with NO nuts would be greatly appreciated! Sign-up genius link will be coming soon via email. Students should plan on bringing their own sack lunch for Saturday.

 

CutTime

Although we will be using CTLS for class information, the Harrison Orchestra Boosters will be using a management system called CutTime in order to communicate with families as needed. CutTime also allows you to see financial information regarding fundraisers and status updates on enrichment fees. All students are already registered in CutTime. However we are in need of parents to register. For information on registering for CutTime, please go to: https://harrisonorchestra.org/cuttime/
