Persons wishing to attend the Carnegie performance who did not preorder tickets back in December can purchase tickets for $13 ($10 plus $3 convenience fee) at this link, and they will also be available at the box office on performance day. The performance begins at 8:00 pm on Friday, March 10, 2023, and the House will open at 7:00 pm.

Cellists and bassists who are bringing their own instruments on the Carnegie trip must bring their instruments to the rehearsal. Following rehearsal, students will find out their chaperone and room assignments, and meet over a NYC pizza dinner with their chaperones and chaperone groups from 5:00-6:00 pm. At least one parent or guardian must attend the MANDATORY NYC Trip Meeting with their student(s) from 6:15-7:30 pm in the Cafeteria.
