THANKS FOR A FANTASTIC SEASON!

Thank you all for coming to our Fall 2012 concert! We had so much fun playing flight-filled music from Jupiter to Superman to Defying Gravity and much more. We loved working with our talented soloists and pops musicians. Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to our fabulous conductor, Elim Chan, our e-board and most importantly our pops orchestra members! Thank you again, and we hope to see you next semester!

If you missed this season, no fears! We've uploaded portions of our concert online, so you can view them there. Here's us playing Jupiter below. Happy viewing!

TODAY IS THE DAY!

POPS TAKES FLIGHT TONIGHT!

To quote another pops member:

Today, I am going to board a space shuttle on an epic STAR TREK. First, I will go UP to JUPITER. Then, the shuttle will FLY ME TO THE MOON, where I can meet SUPERMAN, DEFY GRAVITY, and let loose the FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEES. Along the way, I may learn HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, or even meet E.T. Sound fun? All of you can do this too - come check out Pops Takes Flight! with the Michigan PopsOrchestra tonight at 7:00 at the Michigan Theater! Tickets available at the door.














WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

ONLY THREE DAYS!

Until POPS TAKES FLIGHT!

As one Pops member so eloquently put it:

Do you consider Jupiter the best of all The Planets? Does the sound of a Flight to Neverland have you Hooked? Are you amazed by the Flight of the Bumblebee? Or do you want to go dancing with Die Fledermaus (The Bat)? Do you find the Skyline of Ann Arbor impressive? Have you always wanted to learn How to Train Your Dragon? And are you amazed by the Finale of the Firebird's song? Have you eve
r wanted to go Up into the October Sky? Or have you ever wished that Superman would come save you from your everyday life? Maybe you've wanted to be Defying Gravity and Fly to the Moon? Or maybe you've wanted to Trek across the Stars with ET? If you've ever felt any of these things (or if you enjoy good music), come to Pops Takes Flight! The Michigan Pops Orchestra's fall concert, this Sunday for $5! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.




You can still purchase tickets at the Michigan Theater on Friday 3-5pm, Mason Hall on Friday 12-2pm, and at the door on Sunday, concert day!

We hope to see you there!
