6th Grade Orchestra Registration Information.

Dear 6th Grade Parents,
It was very nice to meet some of you at our music open house.  We are looking forward to this great bunch of 6th graders.  On Friday, we will collect registration forms during connections time, and your child will officially be a member of the Durham Orchestra!

Additionally, we will have a 6th grade orchestra parent night on Tuesday, 8/21 at 6:30PM. This is where we will be able to cover all of the "nuts and bolts" of the orchestra program, help you find the right instrument rental/purchase, and answer any other questions that you may have.
This meeting would be especially helpful for parents who are new to the orchestra program at Durham.
