Summer is beginning to wind down, and as sad as it will be to have to start waking up early again, it will soon be time for the Raider Orchestra to start making music together again.
No instruments are needed the first day of school. I will be distributing handbooks at the beginning of the year, which are loaded with tons of information.
Students - don't freak out if there are scheduling problems at first, with our new system, we'll probably have to work through some issues before everything is ironed out! Also, if you know of anyone who might want to sign up for orchestra, it's not too late, and they may do so when school starts. There are spots available for former band students who might want to try playing a string instrument this year instead. Direct any interested students to me so we can figure out how to get some more people to join our club! :)
I'm excited about a new year, and am looking forward to fun times and making great music! Enjoy the rest of the summer, and I'll see you in a few weeks!
