The Orchestra from Payson Junior High came out to Goshen Elementary to show their instruments to the sixth graders.  The sixth grade students will be going to junior high next year and will be able to do band or orchestra, so this was a good opportunity for them to see what instruments they can play.  The sixth graders found out how easy it is to play an instrument when their classmate, Makade Cowan, went up and played “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on his first try playing the violin.
