Practice Makes Perfect! Violin Ensemble rehearses on
Wednesdays after school, from 3:00-
4:00. Students who join this group
must be willing to do the following.
- Attend all rehearsals and
performances unless they have an
emergency.
- Bring their instruments regularly.
- Practice their music at home.
- Behave appropriately during
rehearsals and performances.
- Have a ride home on Wednesdays at
4:00 or go to the After-Care Program.
At performances, students in this
group wear performance clothes
appropriate for the stage: long
black pants and white shirt/blouse,
dark shoes with socks or tights.
Sandals, flip-flops, jeans, and tee
shirts would not look good on
stage. High heels, make up, and
excessive jewelry are discouraged
at this age.
An ensemble is a group that
performs together, and they need to
look as if they belong together.
So we would appreciate your
adhering to the group's dress code.
Thank you! |
Ensemble Skills Students learn to work together
cooperatively in groups, and they
can earn stripes on their violin bows.

Budding Beethovens Ludwig Van Beethoven would be proud
to know that these students are
performing the theme from his Ninth
Symphony. Can you see the focus in
their faces as they work hard to
bring the physical, mental, and
emotional parts of their beings
together to create a stunning
performance? |
AWESOME OPPORTUNITIES Performing in music ensembles can
bring exciting opportunities!
