Parent Night Tonight

Come to the Orchard Orchestra Parent night 

6:00 p.m. in the Media Center

We will talk about success strategies and tips.  I have invited Summerhays Music to come and be available to answer any questions about instrument rentals.  They are also ready to exchange any size instrument if your student has grown over the summer.

I know you will find this meeting informative.  Please bring your student and we can help you with anything you need to start or continue in the orchestra program.

History Corner
Johann Sebastian Bach -"Yo-han Sebas-tee-on Bahk"
Born 1685- Died 1750
German composer with a BIG musical family.  

One of his Famous Pieces is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring often heard at Christmas time.

Neat Fact about Bach-
     He liked to write for students learning to play their instruments.

     He was once thrown into prison by his boss (the Duke in Wiemer) for accepting a better paying job.
