What Are We Doing in Orchestra?
We are so proud of all the classes and their great performance on Friday, Sept. 9th for the National Anthem! We are refining and working on the last details for our upcoming parade on Saturday 9/24/22. Please see below for more information about the parade. We are finishing up selecting and handing out concert music this week as well. Students will have a short assignment to complete on the digital day. It will be available in e-class.
Parents, please take a moment and go though the orchestra handbook below. Once you have looked over it, please fill out our handbook acknowledgement form below. It is very important we have this signed form on file for each student.
