Our Cedarwood orchestra students are working hard learning to play new music on their instruments.  We had a wonderful winter concert in December and are now hard at work learning our Fundamental Skills for testing.  Our testing date is February 23^rd. All 5^th and 6^th grade orchestra students will be tested on a scale, a song, and their sight-reading skills.  On March 1^st, our 6^th graders are going on a field trip to Clovis High to listen to older music students play and learn how to sign up for orchestra in middle school.  Then 6^th grade orchestra has a festival in April at the Performing Arts Center where they perform two music pieces for judges. Finally, we will have our Spring Concert at Cedarwood on Monday May 22^nd to end the year.  Thank you for all your support with practice at home. Please email Mrs. Humphreys if you have any questions! [email protected]
