JMB Softball Interest Meeting - rescheduled!
Spring Sports are almost here.
On Friday, February 14, 8 JMB orchestra students traveled to Salisbury University for the first ever String Solo and Ensemble Prep Day. They participated in a masterclass about string playing techniques with college professors, got in-depth coaching on their performance pieces, listened to a presentation on furthering their music studies in college, and were treated to a performance by some members of the Salisbury Youth Orchestra. It was a great partnership opportunity between the university and our local schools, and we're excited to see how the in-depth experience pays off in their performances at our local Solo and Ensemble Festival in a few weeks!
Check out all of the great career exploration opportunities coming up at JMB in the next few weeks!
