UBMS 8th grade orchestra volunteers had the best day at the Arts Alive Festival at the Hylton Performing Arts Center. The last shift of volunteers stayed after, and we all watched the Manassas Symphony performance in the main theater. It was a long day, but so rewarding!
Reflections from some of our students:
"I loved teaching the kids about my instrument. There were some that were shy, but the smile on their face was everything."
"It was nice and fun."
"It was nice to show the kids how to hold and play an instrument."
"it was fun to see all the little kids learn about the instruments."
"it was very fun to teach all the kids about bow holds and give them stickers and coloring sheets."
"It was so fun and exciting to see all the kids try and learn about our instruments. This was a really good experience!!"
"I REALLY loved doing this it was amazing and sweet i liked how amused the kids look at the instruments great experience."
