Chamber Orchestra

Chamber Orchestra prepares students for college orchestra through intense rehearsal of difficult music. It is an ensemble for highly motivated students who have achieved considerable musical and technical skill on their instruments.  To qualify students must be comfortable playing 3-octave scales, play in tune in all positions, and understand and perform advanced level skills. A high level of maturity and self-discipline is required of students in this class.  Juniors and Seniors have the option to do extra work to earn honors credit in this course.
Chamber Orchestra for Honors Credit has the same entrance and performance requirements as Orchestra III, plus the following additional requirements.
1.     Enroll and earn one credit in Orchestra III: Chamber Orchestra.
2.     Participate completely in all District Orchestra auditions, sectionals, rehearsals and performances.
3.     Perform in Region Orchestra OR earn an Excellent or Superior rating at Solo and Ensemble performing appropriate level of         music
4.     Participate in required Pops Orchestra (or comparable performing group) rehearsals and performances.
5.     Written work, choose one of the following to be submitted each semester:
  • Attend 2 orchestra concerts outside  of class and write a 2-page critique of each.
  • Program notes for the major works performed by the District Orchestra.
