The EHS Orchestra held a mini-concert to prepare for their regional event next Tuesday. In the last two years, the orchestra has earned superior and excellent ratings each time. They have been working on these selections of music for about a month and a half: Velocity, The Gift an Aria for String Orchestra, and Desperate Measures. At the concert assessment, they will play three prepared pieces of music off of the state required list, then after the prepared performance, they will be assessed on how well they sight read a brand new piece of music. Good luck! We know you will do well!
