Symphony

The Symphony Orchestra is an auditioned group that is open to all students’ grades 9 - 12 who have previously played a string instrument. Starting in the 2021-2022 school year, this group combined with our former Chamber String Ensemble.
Symphony Orchestra meets one period each day for both semesters, and receives full credit. This ensemble offers a variety of concert performances, studying all types of musical genres and styles, including String and Full orchestra as well as participating in the Badger Conference Festival. Students will also have the opportunity to study chamber music by participating in the Solo and Ensemble Festival. There will occasional performances scheduled outside of the school day, including weekends and tours. Course requirements include but are not limited to: 1) attendance at all performances, 2) class participation, 3) individual improvement/practicing, 4) occasional quizzes (both playing and written).
