MES Orchestra Newsletter
January/February
Greetings! Here are this month's latest and greatest...
NASH Orchestra Concert Video
Your child did such a great job performing at the daytime and evening concerts! I am thrilled to see how excited and happy they were to play their instruments and perform for you. Mr. Bob Tozier recorded our concert and posted it on YouTube. You are welcome to share this concert link with family and friends.
We ask that for future concerts that young children be with their parents at all times to help keep distractions at a minimum for our performers and audience. If a young child is restless, you are welcome to take them to the lobby.
Thank you to parent volunteers and tuning volunteers!
Thank you to the following parents for volunteering before and during our winter evening concert:
- Stephanie Pennock

Thank you for the tuning volunteers from both the PYCO music store and Wexford Violin Shop during the daytime and evening concerts.
