Photo of the Day: Instrument Petting Zoo

students were treated to a special day where they were able to look at, touch and hear instruments played by high school musicians, organized by band teachers Christine Creighton and Mark Abbonizio.

Called the Instrument Petting Zoo, third-grade students had the opportunity to get a look at all the instruments of the band and orchestra.

"Students were able to hear the instruments performed, ask questions about how each instrument works, and experience the excitement of holding the instruments, many of them for the first time," said the school in a statment about the event.

After their up close and person experience with the instruments, the third graders will be selecting the instrument they would like to begin learning in the fall.
