Orchestra 10/26/26

Hello Orchestra Students and Families,

The Phantom of the Opera is a wrap! 

Thank you, parents and volunteers! You were the village behind our students for six performances, countless rehearsals, and food. So. Much. Food.  You kept our students fed all through tech week and closing weekend, early morning drop offs, late night pick ups, the love, and the help behind the scenes.

These musicians worked so hard and delivered epic performances to our community. We could not be prouder.
