Musical Pit Orchestra
The pit orchestra, consisting of woodwind, brass, percussion, and rhythm section, provides the instrumental accompaniment for the Fall Musical. Practices will start after school at the end of September and move to the evenings in November. This is a great opportunity for the students to play in a number of different styles and improve their music reading ability levels. Instrumentation for the Pit Orchestra is dependent on the musical each year. Auditions and information regarding necessary instruments for Pit Orchestra are announced in August.
The 2024 musical is "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and more information will be available in the Fall.
