The Encore Home School Band, Orchestra and Choir are now accepting members for the new school year. Rehearsals will begin in September. Home-schooled students from Lawrence and the area are welcome to join.

The band will be divided into three levels of musicians. The orchestra and choir each will feature two levels. If there is enough interest, students also might form a jazz band.
