Previous beginning instruction on a stringed instrument is a prerequisite for joining the Wredling Orchestra.
Rehearsals are during the day. Orchestra is a class during the school day.
All grade levels will only have orchestra with their own grade. For example: 6th graders will have orchestra with other 6th graders only.
Small group lessons (6th grade only) will take place during Orchestra class. Orchestra has two teachers that team teach the class to allow for this class structure.

The Wredling Chamber Orchestra is an AUDITIONED ensemble for string players that are involved in the WMS Orchestra program during the school day. The ensemble strives to rehearse and perform music that is of a higher technical / musical level than that of the school day orchestras. Since the group only rehearses twice a week, the Wredling Chamber Orchestra musicians are expected to practice the ensemble music regularly with a private lesson teacher and / or by themselves at home. The group is mainly comprised of 7th and 8th graders but advanced 6th graders are encouraged to audition. The group performs at WMS Orchestra Concerts, The WMS Winter Pops Concert, and at area music competitions. Some fun outings and other activities are planned as well! Interested and committed string players are encouraged to audition!
