The longer a student goes without an instrument, the farther they will fall behind. Please email me at [email protected] if you need assistance with attaining an instrument for your child. I am here to help.
Chamber Orchestra and Allstate Orchestra
- All students wishing to submit an audition via class iPad for Chamber Orchestra this coming Monday need to fill out an Audition Form stating that both student and parent/guardian understand the commitment of being accepted to this elite ensemble. Students will not be permitted to audition without this as it serves as their permission form. The schedule for auditions is listed under the Chamber tab. 6th grade beginners should not be signing up for this audition.
- All students wishing to audition for Allstate Orchestra must complete this Audition Form and pay their $25 fee on MyPaymentsPlus or by sending cash/check. Students who do not fill out the form or get their fee paid before September 11th will not be registered for the audition. This is a highly competitive and rigorous process. Only students truly serious about the audition should sign up. It is not acceptable to sign up for Allstate and then not attend the audition. 6th grade beginners should not be signing up for this audition.
Kindest Regards,
Mrs. Newton
