PCMS is legit. I miss the school so much

[@dragonflarehg9276]

I’m a 1st violin player and my advanced orchestra is no where near this level I’m so jealous. We’re doing carol of the bells for our winter concert dec 14 but it’s a either grade 1-2 arrangement, and can I just say that the 1st violins at the high E part was so in tune.

[@reallifedoor4536]

what's the arrangement?

[@dragonflarehg9276]

@reallifedoor4536 the one I’m gonna do was arranged by Cameron law and it’s apparently called bells of wonder instead
