We have another outstanding group of students in this year's orchestra at Spanish Oaks. "They are attentive and respectful, and they also know how to make some noise," says Mr. Hansen, our marvelous director. "We are currently learning how to hold the instrument and bow properly, as well as how to place the fingers of the left hand properly on the string to create other notes than the open strings." It sounds like it is going to be a great year!

We even dressed up Mrs. Robinson in a fireman's suit to show that firemen are not scary. Then we got to go outside and sit in the cool firetruck. Thank you, Mr. Taylor!
