Chamber Orchestra 2015-2016

The West High Chamber Orchestra meets during 4th Hour.

**with the exception of the Large Group Ensemble contest and Pops Concert. For these 2 performances, the "Chamber Orchestra" will be the 4th and 5th Hours.**

The Chamber Orchestra consists of mostly underclassmen and is a great choice for those students at Tech School or who have an early release. We focus on building technique and musicality with common orchestral literature plus a fair dose of newer works as well.
