Please write all checks payable to: ‘Silicon Valley Alliance Church’. Also put down “Life Orchestra” and the name of the applicant on the check.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT in the Life Orchestra is expected. Every parent needs to commit to at least one task (like set up / clean up for the rehearsal or help keep young kids in order if needed) sometime during the course of the year. If your child is accepted, you will be requested to sign up for a Life Orchestra volunteer area.
