SOUTHERN STAR MUSIC FESTIVAL

Congratulations to the MS Orchestra, MS Band, MS Chorus, HS Chamber Group, and HS Chorus from Trinity Christian School for their outstanding participation in the Southern Star Music Festival on Saturday, May 3rd! These talented ensembles represented their school with excellence as they performed before a panel of judges who provided scores and valuable feedback on their performances. We are proud of their dedication, hard work, and musical achievement in this exciting and enriching event!


CONCERT SERIES

Our Spring concerts are in the books, and the students have all performed with such excellence.  We are so proud of each of you, and the success of the Concert Series events: Recorders, Orchestra, Band and Chorus.  What a testament to the growth and skill each of our students possess.  Well done, Lions!


National Day of Prayer

Our HS Chorus, The Lion Chorale, had the special opportunity of singing at a National Day of Prayer service on Thursday, May 1st, in Newnan, Georgia. They opened the service by singing the National Anthem and closed with God Bless America. What a special treat it was to gather together with other believers in our community and pray over our country!

INSTRUMENT REPAIR

We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments.  If you have an instrument that needs repair, this may be a great option for you.  The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus.  Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table.  This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now.  Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
