Our Winter Concert will be on Friday, December 2nd in the Faubion Auditorium and includes all orchestra students. There will be two concerts for this event in order to create as much space as possible for audience members. Beginning Orchestra, Concertino, and Honors Orchestras will perform at 6 pm; Honors Orchestra, Sinfonia Orchestra, and Camerata Orchestra will perform at 7:30 pm. Non-Beginning Orchestra students need to wear all solid black dress clothes (shirt/pants/socks/shoes) for this concert (no dresses/skirts, jeans, tank tops or sweats) see orchestra handbook for more details on concert attire. We will also be having our annual silent auction at the Winter Concert. Please sign up to donate an item for auction here.
Our Faubion Orchestra Boosters is sponsoring fun, optional spiritwear for students and fans of the Faubion Orchestra through Home Team Prints. You can shop online here for different styles (t-shirts, hoodies, long sleeve t-shirts, dry fit shirts, tank tops, baseball tees, etc) of each design. A portion of each sale benefits the Faubion Orchestra Boosters. There is no shipping cost when it is delivered to the store (located behind Waffle House). This is a great gift idea for the holidays! See below for one of the new t-shirt design options and available colors!
Several members of the Faubion upper level orchestras competed in the TMEA Region 25 All-Region Orchestra Auditions at Boyd HS on October 29. Students from McKinney, Prosper, and Frisco schools all participated in this event. Fifteen students total made the orchestra or were alternates. Making the Chamber Orchestra were: Kaitlin Lee, Mike Rocha and Trayse Taylor, violin; Greyson Hampton, viola; and James Williams, cello. Students making the Sinfonia orchestra include: Kaydence Cook, Joe Jaramillo, and Angeles Pulido, violin; Syla Traylor, viola; Anna Li, cello; and Josh Lessner, bass. Concert Orchestra students include: Lucas Hlavaty, viola; and Ruben Solis, cello. Eli Das and Kaiden Ruff were alternates. Congratulations to all!
Our orchestra website has many links with helpful information for parents and students. Also, Faubion Orchestra has a Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok account for fans/parents of the orchestra to follow. We encourage parents to follow us on these sites. This not anything that is required for any students as we realize many students do not have social media accounts--and that is okay! You can also contact us at kzamora@mckinneyisd.net bberens@mckinneyisd.net or 469-302-6699. Please note that our phone number rings directly to voicemail, so leave a message and we will call you back after school hours.
