Our Orchestras
Concert
This orchestra is made primarily of freshman, and/or students who are experiencing their first year of high school orchestra, but have prior experience from middle school. This focus for the year will be to set a firm foundation of the skills and technique needed for performance, as well as those needed to rehearse properly as an orchestral ensemble.
Symphony
This orchestra is only available to 10th-12th grade students who have already successfully completed Concert Orchestra, or to freshmen who audition into the orchestra. Students in this orchestra should already have the skills and techniques necessary to play GMEA Level 4 music. These students should also already know, understand, and consistently demonstrate the focus this music requires during all rehearsals.
Chamber

This orchestra level is reserved for advanced performers who are comfortable in multiple left-hand positions. Students in this orchestra should already have the skills and techniques necessary to play GMEA Level 5 music and higher. These students already know, understand, and consistently demonstrate the focus, practice ethic, and rehearsal behavior this music requires during all rehearsals.
