Qualified stringed-instrument students who play violin, viola, cello, bass, or harp are offered the means to attain excellence through group performance. A variety of styles of music is studied and performed, with emphasis on traditional "class" music. Participation in outside-of-class rehearsals is required, as is participation in evening performances. Students also have the opportunity to participate in solo and ensemble contests and performances through this class. The orchestra usually takes an out-of-state trip to a music festival. Students have opportunities to earn their money for the trip through booster-club-sponsored fund-raisers.
