DONATION CAMPAIGN All Students In the months of November and December we are holding a Donation Campaign for the Spartan Orchestra program! 100% of the donation goes towards the experiences, equipment, and active growth of the orchestra program. In lieu of a traditional door-to-door fundraiser or charging admission for concerts, we kindly request that each family participates in the campaign. This year in particular, we are raising money to replace the broken stand racks, broken tuners, and add instrument storage for the growing population of orchestra students. You can send a donation at any time with your child using this form: https://www.sljhorchestras.org/uploads/8/6/1/1/86119594/donation_form.pdf Alternatively, we will have this form printed during the upcoming December performances.
