Students who are interested in joining the orchestra can come to String Instrument Night to try out instruments, meet Mr. Lambert, and sign up for class (if not done already). Returning students should come to get resized.
The event will be hosted by Gateway Pointe Elementary in the gymnasium (2069 South De La Torre Drive). Come anytime from 4:30pm-6pm; plan for 30 minutes to visit every station. Music stores will also be present, and you can rent an instrument and get everything you’ll need for the year.
