Junior High Orchestra

The 2025-2026 Junior High Orchestra is comprised of approximately 90 7th and 8th grade students. It is directed by Lauryn Deets and it meets at the Junior High School. Seventh graders attend orchestra during 6th period on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, typically alternating with study hall. Eighth graders rehearse every day during 5th period. Every student also receives a 15 minute individual or small group lesson once a week at his/her scheduled time. Through this course, students will improve their abilities on their instrument, perform challenging music of various genres, strengthen skills such as leadership and cooperation, and learn basic music theory.
