Lassiter Orchestra Fall Camp 2016 August 26-27, 2016
The Lassiter Orchestra Camp is an integral part of the Lassiter Orchestra experience. Your son/ daughter will receive approximately 10 hours of ensemble and sectional instruction with the LHSO Camp Staff. Orchestra Camp is essential to the progress of our orchestra program in order to advance to a higher level of string performance and to develop skills as a member of an ensemble.
Lassiter Orchestra Camp culminates both evenings with a group activity giving students an opportunity to interact with their orchestra team. Your LHSOA dues help provide the quality camp instruction for the weekend. Please email Carol Doemel with any conflicts, as all instruction is vital to the progress of our students.
