Welcome to the Hammarskjold Middle School Orchestra (HMSO) website!


Reminder to students:
Our Spring Concert is on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at EBHS. Students will be 
reporting to EBHS at 6:30 pm to tune and warm up. The concert starts at 
7:30pm and is free, so make sure you invite your family and friends!

AN IMPORTANT NOTICE TO STUDENTS RETURNING INSTRUMENTS TO THE MUSIC SHOP
If you are returning your instrument to The Music Shop, you must first call 
them to receive a Return Authorization (RA) Number. 

Write the RA Number on a piece of tape and put it on your case. Give your 
instrument to Mr. Z, Mr. Becker, or Dr. Braun. The representative from The 
Music Shop will be coming to Hammarskjold for the last time on June 17th. 

Because old Hammarskjold will be demolished after school gets out in June, 
it is very important that no instruments be left here! The last date the 
Music Shop representative will be picking up instruments at Hammarskjold is 
Tuesday, June 17th. Any instruments that need to be returned to the Music 
Shop after June 17th will need to be taken to the Arts Supervisor’s office 
(Mr. Jeffrey Lesser) at the Board of Education Building, 760 Route 18.

If you return your instrument without obtaining the RA Number, you will 
continue to be billed for the instrument!
The number for The Music Shop is: (800)553-0633
