I stumbled across a Maumee Orchestra Yearbook from 1979-1980 written by Joseph Morin - the first orchestra director in Maumee City Schools. This is brief glimpse into the orchestra beginnings some 60 years ago with orchestra information dating back to 1961 and biography information dating back to 1928!
Here are a couple of the remote videos we compiled during remote instruction during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020. Students recorded their parts remotely and submitted their performance videos which were stitched together to create the final videos! While nothing replaces performing together as an ensemble, the creation of these videos kept us engaged with one another and helped keep our orchestra family playing together!
