West Ashley Orchestra

Instructor:

Samuel Smoak

Program Description:

The West Ashley Orchestras are part of the high school's instrumental music programs. We perform concerts and provide music for various major school events. We focus on the development of our stringed musicians (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Guitar). We sometimes join with select members of the band to take trips and perform as a Full Orchestra. During the first year of membership, each student will be required to purchase their heavily discounted tuxedo/dress. The student will own this outfit and will not have to pay for it again. Orchestra allows students to make music and grow relationships with the same people throughout a four-year experience. Music is a craft that demands continuous growth and self-improvement. Concerts provide an opportunity to showcase those advancements to friends and family and be recognized as part of something much bigger than yourself.
