Orchestra at HMS is offered at 6th through 8th grade. There are two 6th grade orchestras called 6th grade blue orchestra and 6th grade white orchestra, one 7th grade orchestra and one 8th grade orchestra. All of the orchestras meet on A days. We have small group lessons called technique classes where students are on a rotating pullout schedule. Each group will meet once a week consistently for a lesson. 6th and 7th grade lessons will be taught by Mrs. Mandel. 8th grade lessons will be taught by Mrs. Pearson Nerad. 6th grade lessons will be on Wednesdays and Fridays. 7th Grade lessons will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 8th Grade lessons will be on A Days. Makeup lessons will be offered every other Wednesday and Mrs. Pearson Nerad will individually contact students about make ups. Students have been assigned a Group Number. If you have lost your schedule, you can download a new one off of the 6-8 Orchestra page.
