As we near the end of the school year there are a few opportunities I want to share with you. There are some great local youth orchestras that provide students with another opportunity to flex their musical muscles and learn in a new environment outside of our East Orchestras. This is a supplemental opportunity for students looking for another avenue to pursue musical study on their instrument. Audition dates are fast approaching, so if you and your child are interested you will need to start preparing soon. Also, there are some great summer camps for students to attend that are music focused. If you have any questions about any of the opportunities listed below please let Mrs. Mihalko or Mr. Yoder know.
