Welcome to High School Honor Strings! This group acts as an advanced extracurricular ensemble for students who are looking for extended playing opportunities. Here is a little bit about the Honor Strings program, and what can be expected:
Students will rehearse after school from 2:15-3:15 on Thursdays. Supplementary Saturday rehearsals will be communicated monthly in order to offer this ensemble to all students, regardless after school scheduling conflicts.
Students will be provided with extra performance/concert opportunities throughout the year, separate from the scheduled orchestra concerts in December and May.
Students will be challenged with learning new and extended technique on their instruments. The group will be provided with repertoire specifically chosen to help develop their musical and technical abilities!
Students will be taking their hard work to NYSSMA Majors for adjudication in the spring. The material presented at this festival will be ranked, and students will recieve verbal and written feedback from the judges.
