Orchestra

- Pencil for class and folding music stand for home practice
- This year we are going to be using Habits of a Successful MIDDLE LEVEL String Musician (instrument specific) book for technique in 6-8th grade.
- We will use it in class and I hope to have a class set! Any tests given, the students will have a photocopy of the test to practice at home. This is a new edition, and we need a classroom set for daily use! If you would like to help contribute to that set, please see the Orchestra Amazon Wishlist and order from there. I have also included other shared supplies for the program that we need for the year.
- Other things to anticipate: We will do a T-shirt and sweatshirt order hopefully in October and concert clothes will be needed. First concert is in December. We have fundraised money in ASB fund that will go towards trips and activities and FOT has given us a small budget for sheet music and replacing and purchasing new school instruments.
