Middle School: 8th Grade Orchestra Festival
Published by Ms. VerVynck on Nov 05, 2022

This week, the 8th grade orchestra students participated in a side-by-side rehearsal with the LT orchestra program's top orchestra, led by Jan Mathews as conductor. In addition, the students were able to talk to the high schoolers about how orchestra works with their schedules in high school and what kinds of opportunities string musicians have. They were working on pretty tough music, and their playing improved from the experience!  The festival was a great opportunity for our students.  Thank you to LT orchestra program, Jan Mathews and Colleen Follin, our Orchestra director at Highlands, for this amazing collaboration.
