It’s been a while since I talked about the string orchestra I teach. We’ve been very busy this year. I have a great group of kids to work with. They (for the most part) work hard and want to do a good job. Last month we had a concert at our local library. There was probably about 70 in the audience. Both groups played and did a great job. I finally figured out how to upload videos to Youtube, so you get to hear and see us perform.
The first year orchestra has been playing since September. We played:
Can-Can
Mozart Serenade — Mozart
French Folk Song
Theme to Master Piece Theater
Bach Musette — Bach
William Tell Overture — Rossini
Polly Wolly Doodle
Before playing, scroll down and stop the audio feed of the quartet I have playing in my right menu bar, or you’ll have 2 things playing at once.
The second year orchestra has been playing for 18 months (started last September). They played:
Yankee Doodle — Traditional
Beauty and the Beast — Alan Menken
Trumpet Voluntary — Clarke
Classical Bash
Pomp and Circumstance — Elgar
"Finale" from the First Symphony — Brahms

Here are photos of the groups so you can see their shining faces.
