FOR THE ORCHESTRA

 

By this point, ALL orchestra students should have an instrument!  If you do not, please contact Mrs. Sandritter immediately - stephanie.sandritter@ocps.net
 
ALL beginning and intermediate orchestra students are required to have a Don’t Fret Finger Position Marker for their instrument (the long version with white lines between the colored lines).
Concert Orchestra musicians are highly encouraged to have these markers, as well. (Chamber Orchestra students are not required.)
You can find this material at https://www.musicarts.com/dont-fret
