Orchestra
CHAMBER ORCHESTRA is our
premier orchestral ensemble.
Performing repertoire of the highest
caliber, this orchestra consists of our
most advanced orchestral musicians
as an Honors Level ensemble. The
Chamber Orchestra performs in and
out of the area in a variety of concert
settings.
SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA consists
of our intermediate level orchestral
musicians who have at least one year
of string experience. This orchestra
performs repertoire from the classical
through pops genres focusing upon
string techniques while exploring
historical and cultural influences.
Percussion
The percussion ensemble is under Mr. Mundy’s direction. There are no prerequisites to join; the course is open to the entire student body. Students learn a variety of techniques on the staples of percussion (snare drum, keyboards, and hand drums), and apply these techniques to a diverse array of repertoire. Students perform on VAPA shows and at various other concerts throughout the year.
