Hello Orchestra Families!

Your students continue to show their dedication to their craft during class on a daily basis (even with vacation right around the corner!).  Thank you for supporting your student in the arts and for your support of our orchestra.

Many quartets and quintets have been performing both in and out of school, and around Roswell, bringing smiles wherever they go. We are so grateful to the City of Roswell and local businesses for partnering with us. Please scroll through the photos below to see our highlights!

How Can You Help In Other Ways?

Immediate Needs:
We need everyone to either sign up for the RHS Orchestra Booster Club or donate what they can in order to meet our goal for the year.  Every penny counts! Due to funds already collected, we were able to purchase extra goodies for the reception.

Ms. White is in desperate need of TISSUES and HAND SANITIZER.  Thank you!
