Hi!  Thanks for visiting! 

My name is Mr. Ankerbrand. I teach orchestra students in five schools: Boonsboro Middle, Boonsboro Elementary, Greenbrier Elementary, Pleasant Valley Elementary and Sharpsburg Elementary.  Students have the opportunity to sign up for orchestra beginning in the 4th grade. Students get the most out of orchestra when they begin in 4th grade and continue playing through high school.  Each year builds on concepts learned in previous years and the program is continuous from 4th -12th grade.

Students will have at least two performance opportunities per year.  Students who choose to do so or are selected, will have the opportunity to perform in additional concerts and recitals in Middle School.

The instruments taught in the Boonsboro orchestra program are: (click on each instrument for a video sample)

• Violin 

• Viola

• Cello

• String Bass
