Please help us reach our
potential as one of the best small
student orchestras in the Fairfax
County area. Your contribution
assists us in providing a
well-rounded comprehensive
musical education for our
students.
Please Give!
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 a
annual class trip (for both a
performance and fun). This year
we are going to Hershey Park in
May. Some of our orchestra
students may not be able to
afford this trip without your
contribution.
We are looking for donations of Bass, Cello,
Violin, and/ or Patrons Who Would Like to Help
Us Purchase These Items

need of instruments for our students to play in and outside of class.
Our current instruments are aging and are becoming difficult to play.

ones. We also need new bows and strings, for our instruments.
