Orchestra

The Pride Orchestra

The Orchestra is the ensemble designed for all string players at LRHS. This ensemble is open to ALL students, including (but not limited to) those students who have had successful musical experiences in Middle School, those who have studied privately, or those who are new to the instrument and wishing to learn the basic techniques. Students who have no prior experience with string instruments or reading pitched notation should contact Mr. C directly so we can set up a plan over the summer to help their success at the beginning of the Fall semester. Students will have the opportunity to advance in individual technique and grow in musicianship; develop tone and ensemble concepts in preparation for more in-depth study throughout Chamber Strings and other collaborative opportunities. The ensemble performs public concerts and school functions. The Orchestra has received Superior Ratings at the NCMEA Music Performance Adjudication event in Grade IV and also elects to perform at other Nationally Judged Festivals.
