Announcements for Orchestra: 

Welcome to Orchestra at Eisenhower Middle School!

Welcome to The 2023-2024 School Year! 

Our proposed concert dates for '23-24 will be posted on our Concert Dates portion of the website very soon!

The New Mexico Philharmonic is now selling their annual student passes for all concerts! For $30, students receive tickets to at least twenty NMPhil Concerts! Check out this link for more information: NMPhil Student Soundcard

If you are an Orchestra STUDENT, make sure you are enrolled in your Google Classroom. Each orchestra will have its own Google Classroom. All class work, assignments and materials will be posted on the Classroom page. 

If you are a PARENT/GUARDIAN, please use this website as a reference for information about orchestra at DRMS. I will update the main page frequently to provide you with the most up-to-date information. Please use our calendar to see when assignments for class are due.
