Students who are interested in joining the orchestra can come to String Instrument Day 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 4pm-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.
