TJMC Talent Show at Orkney Springs

Parents who would like to join us at Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs for the Thursday night talent show are encourage to drive on out and enjoy a delightful evening with the TJMC! The cost is nominal for Thursday night dinner, an overnight room (which will include linens!) and a Friday morning breakfast. Your reservation can be booked directly with the Shrine Mont facility. You will find their contact information and driving directions at: www.shrinemont.com

You are invited to join for dinner at 5:00 on Thursday August 21, followed by a viewing of the final Orkney rehearsal. The talent show will start at approximately 8:45 p.m.

A note to alumni who might want to visit: You are most welcome to come and observe a rehearsal and/or enjoy the talent show. However, late-night travel back to Northern Virginia is difficult on unfamiliar roads. Please use great caution, or reserve a room to stay over.
