A Chance to Discover the Wonders of Music

The Georgetown Independent School District’s orchestra departments recently held their Orchestra Instrument Fair for kids in the 5th grade considering playing in orchestra when they enter middle school next year.   The event, held at Georgetown High School, gave the youngsters the chance to touch and actually play some great instruments, including the viola, violin, cello and bass.   One of the most excited young ladies was 11-year-old Regan Daly, a student at Village Elementary School.   She’s the first four photos in this post.  In the featured photo, Regan learns about a cello from Mary Powers, Georgetown High School’s orchestra director.   Regan was loving all the instruments, but was partial to the cello and viola.   The photos right after Regan are of Oscar Garcia, who loved the bass, but found it a bit large!   His favorite was the cello.   Let’s hope the school systems continue to offer these wonderful programs.
