We are excited to watch them perform and so proud of their hard work! If you are interested in attending, tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased here: ISO Side By Side.
INSTRUMENT UPGRADES
As your student progresses over the next four years, you may start to find the instrument they currently have, less adequate for some of the more complicated techniques that will be required of them. If you are interested in upgrading your instrument or purchasing a new instrument, we strongly encourage you to allow us to assist you in this process. I have been teaching strings for a very long time and it is important to me that you find a quality instrument at a fair cost.
While I am happy to help you obtain an instrument from any reputable place, I also encourage you to reach out to Encore Orchestra Strings at Paige's Music. I have worked with them for many years and strongly support the way that they have worked with our families and students over the years. I am happy to meet you at the store and help you there as well. Please let us know if you are interested in upgrading or purchasing a new instrument and we will do everything we can to help you!

SOUTHEASTERN ORCHESTRA REMIND
Due to new HSE District rules, we will be deleting all Remind accounts prior to January 01, 2025. We will be using Parent Square for communication with families instead. We will let you know when we are making the transition from Remind to Parent Square.
If you already know your student's class placement, please sign up for the class Remind! This service allows us to send you and students important information and reminders directly to your phone! We ask students and parents/guardians to please add their name as it is listed in Skyward so that we can easily identify who message are going to and coming from. Students should sign up as "student". Parents/guardians should sign up as "parent".

Miss Minjung Kim
Originally from Columbus, Indiana, Minjung Kim is currently a senior at Indiana University studying Music Education. Her primary instrument is violin, and she has participated in both orchestral and chamber ensembles and solo performances since she was 8 years old. At IU, Minjung has worked with a wide demographic of students and a variety of different string and band ensembles. Aside from music, she also enjoys swimming, reading, and watching action-comedy movies in her free time. Minjung is very excited to gain more knowledge and experience working with the orchestra students and staff at HSE High School this fall!
