What Is Orchestra?

While most know it as an elective class for musicians, those who join it see it as something different. To them, it is a haven. Their instruments and performances are not only a form of art, it is a way to express one’s emotions and state of mind, to cope with one’s stress through sound. Through their performance, these auditory artists can overcome their anxiety.

How Can I Join?

Students can join by asking the director, Cynthia King, to audition. Anyone about to be a freshman can sign up for it with their schedule. Do expect a fee, though, as you will be held responsible!
