National Conference 2008
Jennifer Connoley (Co-President, MLAOSA) went to the conference in Charlotte and had a great time! If you have never been to a national conference, definitely plan to go to one! It's a terrific place to meet up with other Orff teachers, see old friends and make new connections. You will meet clinicians who are icons in AOSA and you will gain valuable insight into your teaching!

MLAOSA Summer Music Camp 2008 Part 1 Theme Song: We Come From the Mountains
We ended another successful year of summer music camp. We had a great turnout about 65 students from the upper elementary and early middle school grades. The students worked hard and had lots of fun meeting students from other schools in the area. Thanks to all the parents who allowed their children to participate.
Our theme this year was Earth, Air, Water and Fire.
Following will be some pictures and video clips from our last day of camp. I'm posting the videos in seperate posts. Below is the Theme Song of our Camp: We Come From the Mountains.
