Welcome to the Hammarskjold Middle School Orchestra (HMSO) website! Congratulations to the HMSO on an outstanding performance at our Winter Concert. Ms Crum & Dr. Braun are very proud of you! The first day back from winter break will be a Day 1, so 7th graders will need their instruments. The second day back from winter break will be a Day 2 and 6th graders will need their instruments. We'll be sightreading music for our Spring Concert for the next few weeks. Click on the "Subscription" link to receive email updates from Dr. Braun & Ms. Crum!
