Students in grades 7-12 also have the opportunity to participate in:

Want to sign up? It's easy! Students were given a special information packet at the 5th grade music assembly.
Fill out the sign-up slip and return it to your child's classroom teacher. 

If you have questions about orchestra, please contact us, or visit us at the Music Open House on Thursday, April 19, from 6-7:30 pm in the Grandville Middle School music wing. 
​
After sign-ups are complete, Mrs. Good and Mr. Bridges will visit each elementary school to help students select their instruments. This is the letter your child will receive on that day. We will send another letter in the mail in August. 

See you soon!
