Marriotts Ridge High School Music is comprised of all the students and families in the Choral, Band, and Orchestra ensembles. We believe that every person in the program is valuable and has much to offer. Here at Marriotts Ridge, we strive to provide you with the highest quality program available. In order to fulfill your role as a vital member of the music community, please keep the following information in mind.

Forms: Please abide by all of the deadlines set forth in the Music Calendar regarding due dates for fees and paperwork. Many volunteer hours go into accounting and data management. Please respect our many volunteers by turning in forms and payments on time.

Fees and Payments:  Checks are the preferred method of payment.  Unless otherwise noted, please make checks payable to Marriotts Ridge Music Foundation, Inc.  Please make certain that the memo section of the check tells us for whom and for what the payment is for.  You may combine payments on one check as long as the memo section of the check clearly states what the monies are for.  Please place all payments in an envelope with student name and the purpose of the payment.  Payments may be placed in the drop box near the music office.

Fundraising:  All families will have the opportunity to fundraise to offset costs, and to help us improve our equipment and facility. We encourage all families to participate in our fundraisers.  Each student in the program will have an individual account where his or her payments and fundraising efforts will be recorded.  Statements will be issued periodically. 

Commitment:  All of the performing groups have many rehearsal and performance commitments outside of the school day.  Everyone is expected to know his/her performance and rehearsal schedule.  Please make every effort to be ON TIME for these events.  Lateness creates unneeded anxiety for everyone.  Please make every effort to communicate when emergency situations arise.  Chronic lateness and absence from rehearsals and performances will result in lowering of a grade and could lead to dismissal from the music program.

Calendar:  Please review carefully the calendar of events and resolve conflicts well ahead of time.  We will make every effort to update the calendar on a regular basis.

Thank you for your attention.  If you have any questions, please contact your directors.

To provide the highest quality learning experiences through rehearsal and performance; to foster leadership and maturity skills for a lifetime; and continue to grow as a community that strives for professionalism and excellence in everything we do.

"Long after the toys of childhood are forgotten, the gift of music will remain."
