☀️🎻 Great food, great friends, and even better memories!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Orchestra BBQ. It was awesome spending time together, celebrating another great year, and kicking off summer with our orchestra family.

Moments like these remind us that orchestra is about more than music—it's about community, friendship, and belonging.

Have a great summer, Bears! 🐻🎶

Final Reminder: Orchestra Barbecue RSVP & Potluck Sign-Up

Dear Orchestra Families,

Thank you to everyone who has already completed the RSVP/Potluck Sign-Up Form for our Cypress Creek Orchestra End-of-Year Barbecue!

We are looking forward to celebrating the end of the school year together with our students, families, alumni, incoming members, and orchestra community.

Event Details
Date: Sunday, June 7
Time: 1:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Location: Bear Creek Recreation Complex
Address: 1600 Bear Crossing Dr, Orlando, FL 32824
Meeting Area: Pavilion Area

If you have not completed the RSVP form yet, please do so as soon as possible. Even if you are unsure or unable to attend, your response helps us plan food, supplies, attendance, and the pavilion capacity limit.

RSVP/Potluck Sign-Up Form: https://forms.gle/oqphwG8GZgrUmBiy5

Because the pavilion area has a capacity limit, we are using the RSVP form to help manage attendance throughout the afternoon. If your family has flexibility, arriving after 2:30 PM would help us balance attendance and avoid too many guests arriving at the same time.

Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided. Families are welcome to bring additional potluck items, drinks, supplies, games, or grill items to share.

We are especially still looking for help with:

Buns, cheese, condiments, and burger/hot dog toppings
Water and ice
Cleanup supplies such as trash bags, wipes, and paper towels
Games or outdoor activities
Setup and cleanup help

If you are bringing a food item, please label any common allergens when possible, such as nuts, dairy, gluten/wheat, pork, or eggs. Please also bring serving utensils for your dish if needed.

We will begin cleanup around 6:00 PM so we can fully clear the pavilion before our rental ends.

Thank you again for helping us make this a fun, organized, and welcoming celebration for the Cypress Creek Orchestra family!
