February events (and a peak into March)

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

Here are the upcoming events for the month of February. Friends and family are warmly invited to all of these events. Though the orchestra and concert band events are during the day and are less formal events, it is a wonderful way to see you children hard at work making music in a beautiful setting.

In the clinics our students will perform their songs on stage and be given feed back on their performance from professors. They will also get a chance to try to improve their performance based on what they learned.  

1. Saturday, February 10 we have over 50 students in solo and ensemble festival at West Ottawa HS!
