Orchestra students come together

Orchestra teacher Mrs. Sullivan helps tune up middle schoolers for their first high school performance.

 Mrs. Sullivan Welcomes the parents to 'The Night of a Thousand Strings.'

Sixth graders nervously anticipate their first stage performance.

Eighth graders like Emily Schipano were happy to get practice on the stage they will perform on for the next four years. "This is a lot different than the floor of the gym," says Emily.

 Now it's time for the high school class to show the kids how it's done.

 Junior Abby Hoffman prepares for the performance of 'Fantasia.'

Sophomore and lead violinist Savannah Guajardo stands and gives a tuning note so the rest of the group can tune.

 Senior Robin Sackett is always excited to perform.

Senior Sarah Kimpton is sad that her orchestra career is coming to an end. "I've been in orchestra since sixth grade and I only have one concert left" said Sarah.

At the end of the concert all of the grades came together and played a beautiful piece that surrounded the audience with sound.
