EPSD Elementary Orchestra is for 5th grade (and select 4th grade students) who are in their 2nd+ year of playing experience. We rehearse as a district wide ensemble every Wednesday at Shoemaker Elementary. Students are transported via bus to Shoemaker and parents must arrange for transportation at the end of rehearsals.
The East Penn Elementary Chamber Players is a select group of orchestra students who excel at their instruments and are able to perform more challenging selections of music in a small ensemble setting. The Chamber Players will do many performances within the school district and in the community throughout the winter and spring.
Students wishing to participate in this ensemble must audition on October 2021 from 4:30 to 5:00 following orchestra. Auditions will last approximately 2 minutes and students must prepare one piece of their choice to perform for the audition. The piece that students select for the audition is very important. Students should pick one of the more challenging pieces that they have prepared previously and can perform successfully. Students taking private lessons outside of school may choose a selection from their private lesson material.
