[Msorchestra] MS Orchestra Info

[MacDonald, Colleen]

MS Orchestra Parents:

It is wonderful to be back at the WMS after being off on maternity leave.  We welcomed Bridget to our family this summer and I have been thoroughly enjoying my time home with the kids.  It is also great being back with my Weston students.  I had a chance to see all the kids today in class.  They have been in wonderful hands with Kristen Drymala as their sub, which was evident when I heard them play.  I am thrilled to be working with them again.

A couple important things:

1.  Instrument Rental:  All cellos and basses who are using a school cello or bass instead of bringing their instrument from home should submit an Instrument Rental payment.  This helps us cover the repair and maintenance costs for the school instruments.  Please follow this link:  Instrument Rental<https://unipaygold.unibank.com/Transactioninfo.aspx?transid=10250>

2. All 7/8th Grade Students interested in auditioning for Junior Districts should order the appropriate audition piece and begin practicing the prescribed scales with their teacher.  More information regarding signing up for auditions is to come, but here are the links to the Junior District Audition list and Scale requirements:

Thank you,
