Orchestra Spirit Wear!

New opportunity to order spirit wear to support Unit 5 Orchestra.  Perfect even for 8th graders, since it is NOT school specific.  Great for parents to have something to wear to concerts, contests, events as well.  Please consider supporting our programs through your purchase!!!!! ~ Mrs. Boyd

IESA Contest

Information sheets will be coming home later this week about organizational contest.  This is a required concert/contest for the 7th/8th grade orchestra students.  It will take place on Friday, April 27th at Normal Community High School.  You will need to transport the students to/from this event.  Exact times will be out soon, but I believe that the 7th graders will need to arrive at NCHS by 5 p.m. and the 8th graders by 610 p.m. that evening.  Students should plan to wear their EJHS Music Polo Shirts.
