Our officers got so many great ideas from the TODA High School Student Leadership Day at Newman Smith High School in Carrollton. They met so many great orchestra officer from other schools and learned from each other.

We are all PUMPED UP for this coming school year!

Thank you TODA for putting on this training. We loved it and are truly inspired!

SOLD!

ATTENTION CELLO PLAYERS AND PARENTS!
This cello is for sale from a former Longview High School orchestra student. She played it for a year and a half and is now in college. Her mother is selling it to help defray college expenses.
It’s a nice cello — a Lisle Chaconne valued between $1700 and $2200 but the price is negotiable. Go try it out! She wants it to go to a good home!
