Concert Orchestra Grade School Tour
Wednesday, May 11, 2005

The SVYS Concert Orchestra went on its annual grade school tour on May 11. The orchestra was well received at all four schools. Mr. Haglund described the orchestral sections, the musicians demonstrated their instruments, and the orchestra played a variety of exciting music. The grade school children were attentive and enjoyed the experience.
