We are completely out of tissues and hand sanitizer. If we could get donations of those, that would be SO appreciated! (I plan to order some as well for the classroom...it's that time of year!)

Thank you all again for picking up and delivering the fundraiser items!! Each instrument section was able to have sectional coaches come in and work with them last week thanks to your participation!! 

Special thanks to all the Fiddlers for your awesome performance at the Art Station at Big Shanty!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Lucas Kim, Anissa Ibrahim, Zoe Mendez, and Dominique White for making it into District 12/Cobb Co. Honor Orchestra! They will represent Durham in March for the Honor Orchestra event. Dominique and Lucas will also be representing Durham at the second round of All State Orchestra auditions in January, and Dominique had the highest ranked audition for Honor Orchestra in the entire county! We are so proud of all four of these dedicated students for their hard work and achievements! Way to go!!
