Hi Parents! We know you received a lot of information over the
weekend. If you are new to the program and have not experienced the performance
requirements this can be overwhelming. We are here to help anyway we can.
Students who signed up for Band or Orchestra class also have the additional performance aspect of the program available to them at Magothy River Middle and we have one of the strongest programs in the County. If your student wants to participate in performances offered by the program they must attend morning rehearsals weekly based on their ensemble as well as the Band or Orchestra class during their normal school hours. Attending morning rehearsal allows them to perform in concerts throughout the year and attend the Concert in the Parks series at Hershey Park this spring, along with many other wonderful opportunities.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us at mrmsipboosters@gmail.com. Please check out the upcoming rehearsal information below.
