The 4-6 Spring Orchestra Concert was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate the young musicians in orchestra. Our fun concert included student solos, fiddling club, all 3 orchestras and a special guest performer Mr. Zach Marburger on his collection of rubber chickens! The 6th graders spent their class today "watching the tape" :)
