Dearborn Symphony Field Trip Feb. 24, 2011

Dearborn Symphony Field Trip Feb. 24, 2011

We had a great time at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center when we had the opportunity to hear the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra play a special concert just for us!  Every 4th grade student from the DPS was invited to attend and in our performance there were close to 1000 students!  Wow!  Each Elementary School Music Teacher was asked to choose one student who was dedicated to practicing very hard on the recorder.  They had to learn and memorize Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” from his Ninth Symphony.  Congratulations to Ahmad Chammout who did a fine job of representing Miller Elementary in a concert!!

Our students enjoyed the orchestra very much.  If you would like more information about upcoming Dearborn Symphony concert please visit the Dearborn Symphony website at:
