Welcome to what should be an exciting and rewarding year!  I am happy to have all of you in the orchestra program and look forward to having you in my class.  In order for our orchestra to be successful, listed below are the expectations for participation in this class.

CLASS PARTICIPATION & EXPECTATIONS

• Orchestra is a class as is math, science, etc.  Class participation and preparation is essential if you are to succeed.  Class participation is more than just coming to class and playing your instrument.  You must be involved!  Ask questions, mark your music, raise your hand to answer questions, etc...show me that you are interested in learning about the music and the material presented. 
• Being prepared for class is essential!  You must come to class with your Journal, instrument and part practiced.
