On February 21, the seventh-grade orchestra went on a large scale tour around several elementary schools to try and convince the students of those schools to join the SFJHS Orchestra. The tour consisted of four visits to elementary schools and a stop for lunch in between. At each elementary school, the orchestra performed several songs and some solo performances by some of the students in the orchestra. There were also several exciting and entertaining moments including inflatable dinosaurs and sharks, a bubble machine, and more!
