    Dear Future Clark Orchestra members,

     

    To those of you we don’t know, let us say “Hello!”  We are the orchestra directors at Clark.  This is an exciting time for you, as you prepare to leave middle school and come to Clark, and we would like to encourage you to join us in the Clark Orchestra! 

    Why should I join the Clark Orchestra, you ask?  We could go through all of the reasons about the skills orchestra teaches you that will help you in your other classes, or the fact that orchestra students tend to score higher on the SAT than any other group of students.  More importantly, though, is what you become as a member of the Clark Orchestra.  You instantly get a “family” at Clark, a smaller group of students with whom you automatically have something in common.  Clark is a big school, and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd.  Orchestra gives you a place to belong.  We work hard, but we also have a lot of fun along the way.

    We know you have a lot of questions.  Attached you will find a list of frequently asked questions.  Hopefully, this will answer any questions you may have.  If not, feel free to contact us, or ask your middle school director to do so.  Also attached is a page of quotes from current Clark Orchestra members telling you a little bit about why you should stay in orchestra at Clark. 

    We really hope to see everyone here at Clark next year, and have a great rest of the year!

    Sincerely,

    Brian Eaton & Christine Aeschbacher
