Orchestra Benefit Dinner

Dear Orchestra Families and Supporters,

The Arcadia High School Orchestras are excited for the return of the Orchestra Benefit Dinner, with our 30th Annual Benefit Dinner and Recital happening on Saturday, March 8, 2025. This fundraising event is held annually at the Arcadia Masonic Center. The Arcadia Orchestras have a history of excellence of over 70 years and continue to be a model for high schools throughout the state and country thanks to avid financial support from the community.

We hope you’ll join us in your best green outfits for our Celtic-themed event, "Feast of Fiddles." We will begin with appetizers and a silent auction, where you can browse for deals, followed by a catered Irish dinner and entertainment featuring string ensembles from all four AHS Orchestras. The grand finale will showcase all 200 orchestra performers completely surrounding the guests–an exhilarating experience you won’t want to miss!

The funds generated from this prestigious event provide many orchestra necessities (coaching, musical instruments, materials and supplies for the orchestra room) that may not otherwise be available to us. There are five ways in which you can provide support for this event: 1) purchase or sell event ticket(s), 2) purchase or sell advertising space in the program book, 3) donate money and be a benefactor, 4) donate items for our silent auction, or 5) volunteer your time to be on our OBD committee. We are grateful to receive new and current items valued at $50 or more for our silent auction, such as musical instruments, electronics, tickets to sporting or music events, gift certificates, and services such as spa treatments or music lessons (just to name a few). All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Here is a contribution form for you to complete. Please take a few moments and respond by sending the order form back to the orchestra room by February 21, 2025. Thank you for your support and generosity for the continuing success of the Arcadia High School Orchestras.
