About the Onalaska Orchestras

The Onalaska Orchestra began in the fall of 1995 with over 70 fourth graders. In the fall of 2000 those beginning students moved on to the high school, creating the first Onalaska High School Orchestra; this orchestra began with 10 violins, 1 viola, 2 celli and 1 bass. Today the High School enrolls approximately 20-34 high school string students.
