Please click on the above flyer for a short, musical video about joining band and orchestra next year!

Haga clic en el volante anterior para ver un video musical sobre cómo inscribirse en la banda y la orquesta el próximo año.

🎻 Orchestra 🎻
I just wanted to take the time to congratulate my wonderful 8th graders! The 8th graders this year are very special because they have been with me since 2nd grade. They are the 1st class of students to start in second grade and go all the way through the program to 8th grade. They have helped grow the orchestra program, helped me design the program, and they have turned into wonderful musicians. It is truly amazing how capable and ready they are for high school and the skills they have achieved. I couldn't be any more proud of their hard work and dedication over all these years. They will be missed dearly and they will all hold a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for all you have done for the King Arts orchestra program and for helping me grow into a better teacher! You all have made it a special place for me and the orchestra students to follow. You have left a great legacy and wonderful influence at King Arts.
Congratulations class of 2021!!!
Lily Gliva, Enrique Montoya, Caitlyn Flowers, Carla Choto, Aiden Flores, and Aidan Levine
