Orchestra Notes
Aug 16th - 17th
TWO DAYS WORTH...
Our days have been going by super fast and exciting!
The beginners are almost set in their correct sections and will get their supplies next week (We are still waiting for the binders to arrive); They have learned the parts of their instruments, sung their string names, and began bow holds!
7/8 graders are getting acclimated with the schedules and double checking they are in their correct electives. They have received their concert music and several symphony members have received their region music. Sectional schedules will be set in two weeks.
BEGINNER SUPPLIES
If you are on this list, please turn in your $30 so that your child can receive the music supplies. They will go out next week. If you are on this list BUT have paid, please email me as soon as possible so that I can fix the mistake. (hernandezmsorch@gmail.com)

Mariachi Students = no fee
- Beginner Cellists will be able to take home instruments on Fridays, beginning in September
- Beginner Bassists are encouraged to practice at school or to rent an instrument for their home this year

MRS. LOPEZ'S LAST DAY
Dear family,
My role as a mother has brought me to a point in life where I will be needing to spend more hours at home caring for my family. In the best interest of the students and program, I have resigned from Hernandez.
I have helped the administration search for a qualified candidate, and the new orchestra director will be on stomping grounds as soon as next week as we make the transition as smooth as possible for the students & school.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support! The students will continue the excellence that has made the orchestra rich and proud, and I am positive that the future will be bright and uplifting!!!
