The North Penn Elementary Symphony is an auditioned ensemble consisting of top orchestra and band students from General Nash and Walton Farm . The NP Elementary Symphony Orchestra will perform throughout the district.
Each year, the NP Symphony Orchestra competes in the Music in the Parks Competition at Dorney Park. Information about the competition and specific details about the day will be provided as we get closer to the competition date.
Rehearsals begin after the Orchestra and Band Spring concerts and take place before school at 7:30AM at Walton Farm Elementary. Transportation to rehearsals must be provided by families however, a bus will be arranged to take Nash students back to Nash after each rehearsal.
Attendance at each rehearsal is mandatory. Due to the limited time in which we have to prepare for the Music in the Parks competition, all students must be at each rehearsal. Please contact Mrs. Goughan or Mr. Thompson if your child must be absent from rehearsal due to illness, family emergency, etc.
Individual practice is vital to the success of our Symphony. With limited time in class to work on the repertoire, students are expected to diligently practice their music at home.
