MIDDLE SCHOOL Orchestra pictures
Pictures of them with other orchestra students
Senior Portraits

Pictures of them just being themselves and having fun!
If you have anything like these that you could share with us for our annual slideshow, please email them to:
Join MVOBA and get FREE admission to the Spring Concert and REDUCED admission to the Banquet!!
All the money raised goes DIRECTLY to making orchestra an awesome experience for YOUR student! (Ask them about the Ice Cream Social! It was fun and FREE for them; provided by funds from membership fees! Ask about their favorite piece! It was purchased with money from membership fees!) We also offer a ton of awards at the end of the year, plus scholarships for music summer camps, cash rewards for our biggest honors, and a $500 scholarship in honor of a former student.
Every member family receives FREE admission to EVERY orchestra concert in which their student is playing the whole year! Ordinarily, tickets will cost $5 each!! PLUS, member students get discounted admission to other orchestra events (some are even FREE!) like the tailgate last October!!
Join me to get those last 2 Orchestra points you needed to letter! (plus a snack!)
