May is a busy month for all of our students!  The Orchestra students work very hard during this time.  On Friday May 4th each of the students will perform a solo and/or a small ensemble piece for a judge!  The students start working on the music as early has October, though most students finalize their choices in February.  The top winner in each grade, whether a soloist or a group, will perform at our Spring Concert.  Good Luck!
