About our String Orchestra

Our String Orchestra (orchestra intermediate) Is a vibrant ensemble, split between two class periods, and brings together students In grades 9-12, with varying levels of experience and skill. Whether you're a beginning musician or an advanced player, our string orchestra provides a supportive and engaging environment to nurture your musical journey. 

For 9th graders and students new to AHS, String Orchestra serves as a foundation for building essential ensemble skills. We believe In providing a solid musical education for every student, and thus, all 9th graders or newcomers are required to complete at least one full year In our String Orchestra before auditioning for our Chamber Orchestra. 

Throughout the year, students In String Orchestra have opportunities to participate In school-wide and county-wide events, showcasing their musical talents and contributing to the broader musical community. These events not only foster personal growth but also Instill a sense of pride and accomplishment In our students. 

In String Orchestra, we focus on developing ensemble skills, musical expression, and technical proficiency. Through engaging rehearsals and performances, students refine their playing techniques, deepen their understanding of musical Interpretation, and cultivate a sense of musical unity within the ensemble. 

Joining our String Orchestra Is an exciting opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with fellow musicians who share your passion for strings. We believe In the power of music to uplift, Inspire, and create lasting memories.
