A Message from the Maestro:
Rehearsals have begun and the orchestras are exceptional again! We hope that you are finding the music challenging and fun.

I want to stress to all orchestra members that listening to your pieces on YouTube or Spotify will help you. If you know what it is supposed to sound like, you are much more likely to play it more accurately. Looking forward to our concerts!!!!!
