Performances and classroom
needs
Our orchestra is a performing art
and as such, the greatest
experience and confidence our
students gain is through
performances outside of the
classroom. These great
opportunities for outside
performances are unfortunately
not without a price tag. Your
contribution will assist us in
maintaining a high level of quality
by helping us purchase much
needed equipment for our
orchestra at school. We need
sheet music, replacement strings
and accessories, new
instruments, orchestra
equipment, preparation and
distribution of our newsletter,
concert programs and fliers. It will
also help defray the costs of our
annual class trip (a performance
opportunity and fun for the
students). Last year we went to
Hershey Park. Some of our
orchestra students may not be
able to afford this kind of trip
without your contribution.
