will be notified of their lesson time by their classroom teacher
and by e-mail.
An orchestra recruitment assembly will be presented to all students on Friday, September 7, 2012 at 9:45 AM in the auditorium. Parents are welcome to attend.
Instruction begins on Friday, September 28, 2012 and runs through
the school year, culminating with an evening concert on Thursday, May 10, 2013 at 4:00 PM (beginners) and 7:00 PM (orchestra) in the auditorium.
A one-time music donation of $435 is requested to cover the instructional
costs of this year’s instrumental music program. This fee covers all music, books and basic supplies which your child
is given. The only other expense will be the lease, rental or
purchase of the instrument. Order your instrument online now through String Season and they will deliver free to school for the first lesson on September 28.
A limited number of scholarships are available to those who request
them and every attempt will be made to see that all students
who wish to participate are given the opportunity regardless
of financial considerations.
Through special arrangements with String Season, instruments
are available for purchase, rent or lease-to-own at up to 45%
