Practice! Practice! Practice!
Students: Practicing is often fun, sometimes drudgery, yet always necessary. For our orchestra to continue its proud tradition of musical excellence each and every student must put forth their best effort to make the ensemble sound great. This means putting aside time every day to work on materials for class that will benefit rehearsals so that we are not practicing in class; rather, in class we work, rehearse, and prepare together. Home is for practice. Please put in the time now and we will continue to succeed together.
