Orchestra Program

News & Events:

Western Kansas Orchestra Festival is on Nov. 21 and 22 this year. Grade 7-12 string players from Western Kansas gather together in Salina to rehearse with guest conductors and present a festival concert Sat. night. Look for an informational letter that will be coming home soon with your child. This is an optional event but I strongly recommend it!
