October 2025 Orchestra Newsletter - Week 1

October is a very busy and very fun month for Orchestra. Our first Community Concert is on October 4th, at 5 pm, and everyone who can make it should be there. Musicians should arrive at 4:30 to warmup, if possible. Bring friends and family!

We recently began after school chamber rehearsals. These have been going great, but if you know any interested musicians (especially lower strings), please invite them to join!

We are also trying to make Chamber more community focused, so if you have a place where you’d like to see our orchestra perform, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2HG5eCe2j-kpE3PWOGz8p1SE4avtM6zzEcEZ9doEY-d_Tyg/viewform
