CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CAST OF LITTLE WOMEN

We are thrilled to announce that our High School One Act cast and crew of Little Women has been selected as one of only 24 schools to perform at the Georgia Theatre Conference this February in Columbus, GA!

This is a tremendous honor, as the conference welcomes more than 6,000 theatre students from across the state. Being chosen to perform places our students among the top high school theatre programs in Georgia and recognizes their outstanding talent, dedication, and hard work.

Please join us in congratulating our cast, crew, and directors for this remarkable achievement. We are so proud of the artistry they bring to our stage and excited to see them shine at the state level!

Bravo to our performers and technicians! THESCON, here we come!


CONGRATULATIONS - ALL STATE ORCHESTRA

Congratulations to Jane Jung for being selected for the GMEA All-State Orchestra!  She went through two competitive rounds of auditions against hundreds of other violinists across Georgia and made it into this prestigious group.  She and the other competition winners will have a weekend of music in Athens  March 5-7, concluding with performing at a concert. 

Jane works hard at her musicianship and is the first instrumental musician from Trinity Christian School to succeed in making the All-State Orchestra.  We are thrilled that she's part of our school and our orchestra.  Congratulations!


WINTER CLASSICS CONCERT

Please plan to join us for an evening of Medieval music, our Winter Classics concert is a highlight for us each year!  On Tuesday, February 10th we will spend an hour in the classics, this year we have been focusing on the Medieval musical time period.  This quaint event is full of mystery, sacred moments, grandeur and awe.  Our HS Chamber Group and HS Chorus students will perform throughout, and we will conclude with refreshments together.  You won’t want to miss this Medieval experience - see you there!  7pm in the HS Auditorium.

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.
